Singer Jesse Hasek shares, “’RISE’ is about perseverance and trying to rise above your struggles. It can be easy to fall into a cycle of negativity but ‘RISE’ is about pulling yourself out of the trenches and taking control back and moving forward in a positive way.” Guitarist Brian Vodinh adds, “’RISE’ is musically a great marriage of my, Matt’s, and Jesse’s creative touches. It really has each of our personalities in it in a very bold way. We wanted to build a melodic track that had some interesting textures but punctuate it with something heavy as well. ‘RISE’ is a track that has a lot of familiar 10 Years elements but also feels like an evolution at the same time.”
At the time of release of “I Remember,” Guitarist Brian Vodinh shared, “’The song is about looking back at our youth and remembering how it felt like we had our entire lives in front of us. How we were full of hope and ambition and kind of clueless to how harsh the real world is. It’s about remembering how we used to always look at the bright side and weren’t so beaten up by life.”
