Every Time I Die have premiered a new single titled “C++ (Love Will Get You Killed)”, which is off the band’s upcoming album Low Teens.
The new single’s lyrical inspiration comes from vocalist’s Keith Buckley’s experience of spending a night in the intensive care unit with his wife Lindsay as she was delivering their newborn child months before her planned birth. Read a statement from Buckley now below.
“When I got there they took me to see [Lindsay], but she was unconscious and hooked up to a bunch of machines. None of the doctors knew what happened. All they could do was monitor her vitals. She couldn’t talk because of the tubes so she just wrote words with her fingers on my arm. ‘Scary’ was what she wrote first.”
“I had never felt so helpless. I could do nothing for her. I couldn’t tell her it was going to be OK. I couldn’t even tell her that death wouldn’t be better because I had no idea yet if our daughter had even made it. I kept asking doctors what the machines meant, and eventually I could tell they were sick of me asking so many questions. I realized that if I could only understand what their beeps meant I might have some hope. I might have some answers.”
