From his upcoming debut EP, Last or Later out on May 17, Burnt Sherpa has released the video for “Difficult Track”.
Inspired by the death Mark Lanegan, Greg Green of Burnt Sherpa says,
“I rarely get too worked up when celebrities pass, but when Lanegan died so unexpectedly, especially after having just overcome some serious health issues, it caught me off guard. I keep a list of phrases and lyrical ideas on my phone; on that list, I had the phrase “difficult gift.” It occurred to me that the songs or art an artist leaves behind can be a difficult gift for their loved ones, which became that song’s theme. But as it went on, I also ended up weaving my own departure from my band into the story. So, it ended up being inspired by Lanegan’s passing, but it’s more of an amalgam of events that were all hard on my soul, making their way into the lyrics.”
