Desire
Mit "Desire" von Trish Discord begeben wir uns in die 90er Jahre, Alternative Rock trifft hier auf die Energie von Grunge. Der Sound der Gitarre zu Beginn klingt ein wenig nach Einsamkeit und doch
von Sehnsucht getrieben, auf eine Art auch immerwährend, gewissermaßen der Unendlichkeit entgegenstrebend. Der Gesang von Trish Discord gibt dem Song die nötige Energie, treibt das Ganze Richtung Refrain wo alles zu kollidieren scheint, sich entfalten kann, ausnahmslos wird Ballast abgeworfen, alles was zuvor nur gelodert hat, brennt, das Feuer, die Leidenschaft ist entfacht.
"Desire", ein Song der Emotionen hervorruft bzw. sehnsüchtig wartet, wartet Antworten zu bekommen, I had been dating a guy who was giving mixed signals and eventually became very frustrated and wrote this song. The anxieties that come with liking someone and being unsure if they would like and accept you back are the main themes of the song, sagt die New Yorker Künstlerin, und setzt dieses Thema musikalisch perfekt um, Gefühle werden zu Klänge, Klänge zu Stimmungen und diese zu einem Bild verarbeitet.
Q & A
Trish Discord is..?
An artist from Queens, NY influenced by a variety of genres including alternative rock, electronica, grunge, and indie rock.
Who inspired you to make music?
I have always felt like music was an outlet that worked best for me but in terms of inspirations I would say Mitksi and Hayley Williams are probably my top choices in terms of inspiring my music.
What or who inspired you to "Desire"?
I had been dating a guy who was giving mixed signals and eventually became very frustrated and wrote this song. The anxieties that come with liking someone and being unsure if they would like and accept you back are the main themes of the song.
The genre mixture sounds amazing (a bit of Darkwave, Alternative Rock, Indie), do you have a favorite genre?
I would say Alternative Rock mixed with Electronic lately has been my favorite so bands like Linkin Park, Pale Waves, or Falling in Reverse are a good example of what I like.
What is your creative process like?
I usually have a melody in my head that I record as a voicenote then I start to think of lyrics that fit the mood of that melody and start thinking of a central theme. Once I have those things I begin writing lyrics and the guitar parts then send it off to my producers, Emma Young and Devon Aviles, to do all the instruments I can't do.
What is the most useful talent you have?
I would say being able to write lyrics and deliver a message that resonates with people has been a pretty cool talent to have. It is so flattering when someone tells me they felt a strong emotional connection to the song.
If you could change anything in the past, what would it be?
I would have started my music career a lot earlier but who knows if things would have played out the same way if I did!
How do you feel the Internet (especially Social Media platforms) has impacted the music business?
I would say the internet is changing the music industry in that an artist can be fully independent and promote their music without needing a record label compared to before when it was impossible.
What’s next for you?
Right now it's to promote the new music video I made for "Desire" (link below). Then I plan to release a full album in the fall at some point which is the album Desire is a single off of. Stay tuned for that!
