DED have premiered a new video for their new song “Purpose: Be Myself.” This track is from the band’s new album “RESENT,” which will be released on September 19.
Vocalist Joe Cotela commented:
“‘Purpose: Be Myself‘ was the last song that we laid down for the new album ‘RESENT‘. We had so many songs that we had written internally as a band and we though, ‘Let’s mix it up a little bit, push ourselves and swing for just one more and get a fresh take on some vibes.’
So we had Zach Jones and KJ Strock go into the laboratory together with the intention of doing some weird ’90s Prodigy-leaning rave banger meets a DED song. They came back with this music and I wrote all of the vocals for it in about an hour. It all just flowed out super smoothly, which usually makes for a sign of a good song, in my experience.
RI think the meaning of the song is pretty self-explanatory but it’s really about following your purpose. That calling is usually from somewhere in your intuition deep inside of your being. Everyone has their own unique purpose or multiple purposes that give their life meaning and value. I think putting these purposes at the forefront of your life is pretty much the meaning of life. It’s a calling that comes from your soul and it brings you closer to the universe/god/love/self.”
