Other Lives release new single "We Wait"

in

With the forthcoming release of their new album For Their Love, Other Lives have released their new single “We Wait” today. The track is one of frontman Jesse Tabish’s most personal songs to date. The track pays tribute to his lost friend Tommy. In a statement, Tabish says:

When I was 15, I formed the All American Rejects. This was my high school band. Always there in our everyday life were Tommy and Jennifer, a member's older sister and brother-in-law. Tommy was the older brother I never had. Kind and wise, he was my mentor and family to me. 

Tommy was shot and killed at the age of 25, on the morning of 30th November. Jennifer, his wife, had hired his murderer.

This event completely devastated and shattered my reality. I quit the Rejects and was very lost. I soon found the piano and started moving towards a deeper place inside, artistically, which has shaped me to this day. For many years, I had avoided this trauma and couldn’t touch the subject. I pushed it out, only for it to haunt me more recently. 

Writing this song is the way for me to heal and remember my old pal, Tommy. 

Pre-orders for For Their Love can be made here. The 10-track release will arrive on April 24 via ATO Records.
