“More Than I Deserve” is drawn from Good Terms’ debut album, Turning Point, set for release this Friday, April 9, via Four 4 Four (a division of Revival Recordings).
Los Angeles' "friendly neighborhood emo band" Good Terms are premiering their newest single/music video, "More Than I Deserve." Written in the secluded Blue Ridge Mountains where the band was at their most vulnerable, the latest single is the perfect intersection of an upbeat track and melancholic lyrics. Stream it exclusively today on The Noise.
The band shares, "'More Than I Deserve' is about asking your partner to fight for your relationship when your fear of commitment eventually drives them away. Even when you know that you're in the right relationship from both an emotional and logical standpoint, an unspoken pressure to take the next steps together often adds a lot of stress to something that should otherwise be solely a source of happiness."
They continue, "Generally the juxtaposition of sadness disguised as fun has always been compelling for us, sort of like putting on a smile around a group of friends when you're really hurting inside. That combination has always resonated with us, and we thought 'More Than I Deserve' was the right song to showcase it. Once the lyrical tone was established, it really opened up an opportunity for the rest of the band to build on that juxtaposition with their performances & sonics."
"More Than I Deserve" is drawn from Good Terms' debut album, Turning Point, set for release this Friday, April 9, via Four 4 Four (a division of Revival Recordings). The album confronts disillusion with adulthood, complacency within relationships and an overall desperation to break free from a passionless life path and redirect course for one rooted in joy.
