Royal Thunder Shares The Sinking Chair Video


Royal Thunder finally released their highly anticipated album, Wick, last week via Spinefarm Records, and today they’ve unveiled a new video for our viewing and listening pleasure. The band has teamed up with NPR to debut ‘The Sinking Chair’ clip, and the video is just as stunning visually as the song is musically.

Mlny Parsonz said this about the track: “This song is about feeling stuck in a sinking chair. You can sit there and allow yourself to be consumed by negative/paralyzing thoughts and they will do just that, consume you. You have to get up and ‘break the hand that covers your mouth. I hope this song brings the listener a sense of empowerment to choose a different way, a better way. When I wrote the lyrics for ‘The Sinking Chair,’ I was in one myself. I was in a place of frustration with a looming sense of defeat hanging above my head like a dark cloud. When I realized I didn’t have to stay there, that’s when I pulled myself up and moved onto something better. It always amazes me how blind we can be to the truth when we are in such a dark place, to the point of not even realizing we are truly in a dark place. Why stay there?! Rise from your sinking chair and run!
