The XCERTS explore tough love on new single bury you

The XCERTS have shared bury you, the latest single from their forthcoming album i think i want to go home now.

The self-reflective new single comes near the end of the album and deals not with pain itself but how to manage it, which can sometimes involve having to get real with oneself.

"Towards the end of the writing process I was taking stock and I wanted something that had - what's the right way to put it? - not a sense of hope, but something that's almost meant to feel like a sobering conversation,” says vocalist Murray McLeod.

“I had a lot of those with close friends of mine who were also having tough times during that period so I wanted to have a song that represents tough love. It also acts as a reflective conversation and a statement of intent for myself. 'This ain't your first rodeo' is a funny line but I've found myself saying it a lot and it's true."
