March 15 — Independent rock band Messer kicked off the weekend with the premiere of another new single and the song’s companion video.
The band premiered its new single, ‘Throw It Away‘ Friday, along with the song’s companion video. The premiere came more than a month after the band debuted its then latest single, ‘One More Time.‘ That song itself followed the premiere of another single, ‘Lay Down Your Heart.‘ The songs are featured in the band’s forthcoming deluxe edition of its self-titled album, which is scheduled for release March 29. Pre-orders are open.
The musical arrangement featured in ‘Throw It Away’ is a radio-ready anthem what with its catchy rock approach and melodic choruses. It is an easy fit with any active/modern rock radio programmer’s daily play list.
Bassist Maddox Messer discussed the song’s lyrical theme in a prepared statement.
“‘Throw It Away’ is about learning a lesson through loss,” Messer said. “It’s a cautionary tale about watching somebody surrender or give in to fear and societal pressures, forfeiting their chance of happiness and success. The lyrics, “I can’t believe you threw it away,” echo the sorrow and disbelief that comes from watching somebody give up to doubt and fear. Ultimately, the song teaches us the most vital lesson of all. – Never give in to fear and hold fast to your dreams. It’s never too late. Don’t Throw It Away.”
The song’s video is a familiar presentation style. It features the band on a sound stage dressed to resemble a live stage setting. The song plays over the visualization as it progresses.
