FINNEAS reveals ‘Love Is Pain’ video
His debut solo album ‘Optimist’ is out now.
To celebrate the release of his debut album ‘Optimist’, FINNEAS has also revealed the video for ‘Love Is Pain’ today.
Speaking about the song, he says, “It’s about how painful and heartbreaking love is. I wanted to write a song about an adult relationship. The more you love someone, the more they have the capacity to cause you heartbreak.”
Of the album, he adds, “My hope is some kid somewhere puts this on and maybe thinks, ‘This is exactly how I’m feeling right now.’ That’s what I do with my favorite music. Personally, the more I learn, the less I know. So, I just feel really lucky right now…and optimistic about the future.”
