Be Well have shared ‘I Will Leave You With This,’ the second single from their forthcoming EP, ‘Hello Sun,’ out May 20th on Revelation Records. On the anthemic ‘I Will Leave You With This,’ frontman and lifelong musician/producer Brian McTernan spends a rare moment taking stock of his career. The video for the song reflects on these memories through photos and video from his Salad Days Studio, showing footage not only from recording ‘Hello Sun,’ but from working with bands like Circa Survive, Turnstile, Thrice, Bane, Fireworks, Strike Anywhere and Praise, just to name a few.
McTernan states that his newly found view has been healing and inspiring: “One of the most incredible things about putting out the first Be Well record, and doing interviews, was talking to people about the impact that the records that I’ve spent my life making had on their lives. I had never fully processed how meaningful it was. That might sound crazy, but I had only really held on to the negatives in a lot of ways. At my darkest times, I felt like I had wasted my life. I am now able to look back and see that I was a part of something way bigger than me. I played a role in helping artists that I respect beyond words create things that will live forever. How did I never allow myself to take any joy in that? ‘I Will Leave You With This’ is a defiant song, to myself in a way, like, ‘I’m not ever gonna lose that perspective.’”
