The Plague, also known as the “pioneers of FUTUREPUNK”, recently released a new single “Will You Ever Know Me” from their upcoming debut album Hope For The Future. According to frontman David Adam Monroe, the making of this album was a way for band members to live by the values they were writing about. “If our goal is to make the world a better place with our music, then we have to walk the walk. We need to have integrity when no one is watching – those are the times that matter most.”
In true ballad form, “Will You Ever Know Me” is beautifully written, filled with Monroe’s honey-sweet vocals (reminiscent to Chester Bennington), and laced with irresistibly decadent hooks.
Not knowing the story behind this song prior to listening, I could sense genuine pain, vulnerability, and raw emotion behind the lyrics. I later found out that the touching song is about David’s father, who was diagnosed with cancer during a time when their relationship wasn’t at it’s best.
Whether you’re going through a breakup, grieving the loss of a loved one, or you’re just in the mood for a good ballad, “Will You Ever Know Me” is definitely worth a listen.
