Louisiana alt-rockers Inside Voices just released their new EP, "Liminal Space", and to celebrate we asked Tyler Jones (vocals/guitars) to tell us about the track "A Hero Appears". Here is the story:

This song, funnily enough, happens to be influenced by my interpretation of the anime, "Ping Pong the Animation". There are so many interesting philosophies in that show, but a huge takeaway for me was the representation of what untapped potential looks and feels like.

With that, the lyrics for this song came from me trying to express, in my own words, what untapped potential feels like. We all seem to have something inside of us that can drive us to do truly incredible things, but it always comes with a cost. Stepping out of our shells. Breaking away from complacency and diving headfirst into what we could be. It is something that feels so hard and sometimes even terrifying to do. Every now and then, we just need a push. I refer to this push as a "Hero".

To me, a "Hero" can be whatever/whoever you want it to be. It is just a matter of realizing what or who it is for you and not resisting so much when it appears. This concept was something I felt compelled to write about and wanted to encapsulate in this song.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen and watch for yourself below and learn more about the EP here
