Song of the Day: December 06, 2015 - "Focus" by P'ARIS
The mysterious P'ARIS are back with a heartwrenching new tune. In keeping with their stream of guest vocalists, "Focus" features the powerful pipes of Willa soaring over twitchy synthpop.
And while the duo's secret identities are still known only to a few, they were very open on the song's meaning:
‘Focus' is a song about two people experiencing the loss of a pregnancy. There’s a very particular type of gentle empathy that both partners must offer each other when going through a miscarriage. It’s a strange type of loss, especially from a pragmatic standpoint - you haven't so much lost something as you have lost the idea of something. So in a way you’re mourning the loss of control over your own future, control over your body, your biology. And you’re also faced with the fact that you have failed at the one thing humans exist on earth to do. ‘Focus’ is about making sure the relationship doesn’t suffer while you’re each processing things in your own way
