Last week, Pil & Bue released their third, and perhaps one of the most significant and unfaltering singles from their upcoming album Special Agents.
Because Change Your Mind is a song about love, about the right to openly live with and love whomever you want, freely and without prejudice.
It is as reaction to the recurring theme of discrimination, prejudice, hatred, and violence people are faced with every day worldwide, simply because of what they identify as or who they have come to love.
In 2023, we should have come so incredibly much further, that people still are not free to love who they love or be who they are, is devastatingly heartbreaking.
Pil & Bue comment:
"Love is love.
We find it infuriating that people are oppressed because of who they love, or who they are.
Change Your Mind is a song that allows love to be what love is; unconditional."
FFO: The Mars Volta, QOTSA, Mew, Deftones, Smashing Pumpkins
