Mustered Courage are back with the new single from their third and critically acclaimed album White Lies & Melodies, “Leave This Life Behind”.
The track serves as the opening track of the highly acclaimed album and tells the tale of a very personal struggle with depression and anxiety for a dear friend of the band:
“Depression and anxiety are brutal. Most of us have had it and we’ve all known someone that has suffered through it, though we may have been confused by their sadness or moods at the time due to the stigma of talking about this topic…The opening track from #whiteliesandmelodies is about a friend of mine that took his own life. He was only 23 years old.”
White Lies & Melodies was a huge step forward for the band, garnering Best Country nomination nods at the 2015 ARIA and Melbourne Age awards, as well as multiple Golden Guitar nominations including Best Alt-Country album.
