● LISTEN TO “ONLY THE PAIN NOW”

For Immediate Release (February 14, 2025 – Oakland, CA) – 

“Only the Pain Now,” the latest single from YANG, is about the pain many of us feel without even knowing it. It’s about the importance of realizing that sometimes the only real thing in your life is the pain you’re feeling. So if you want to be real – and most of us do, you’ll have to feel pain at some point, maybe at many points, for extended periods. But the good news is, at least  for YANG, that he’s “fascinated by a silver moon”, (as sung in the pre- choruses), ie distracted from his pain by something otherworldly and  beautiful and momentarily transported beyond the mundane. The track is released by Straight Up Records (Distributed by Tuff Gong International)

The song was written in October 2023 and recorded at Hackney Road Studios, London in July 2024.
