Searows - "to be seen"

Searows is the musical moniker of Alec Duckart. His latest single, "to be seen," is a painfully quiet piano ballad that is as lush as it is sparse. The song is heartachingly beautiful, and is the type of song that will make you want to stop everything else you're doing to give it your undivided attention. Much of the music out there that is as quiet as "to be seen" is almost mean to be background music, but this certainly isn't. Searows will stop you dead with this one. It's a powerful piece of art that will deeply affect you.

Searows says of his latest single:

“I wrote this song after watching the movie ‘X’. I didn't have any intention to write a song about that movie, it just ended up seeping into all the lyrics I was writing. The song touches on the physical and emotional visibility of truly being seen by someone you love.”

You can watch the video for "to be seen" below. flush is due out November 22 on Last Recordings On Earth. For more on Searows, check out the artist's website.
