New Music: Drowned In A Sea Of Tears

           

Sparks shares their latest new single "Drowned In A Sea Of Tears" taken from their latest recording "MAD!" out this May, the track is actually a minor key mini-tragedy about the perils of emotional continence, of the stiff upper lip, of keeping it all in. The protagonist keeps her emotional landscape guarded behind high walls, and the narrator is unable to be her saviour. Unusually, for a Sparks song, there is no punchline, no twist in the tale. The accompanying video is a visual theater piece about a woman succumbing to her tears of grief, starring Tina Kronis, a concept by Ron Mael and Russell Mael and directed by Ambar Navarro
