Satellite Citi Release “Anxious Hearts”

“We had the honor of co-writing “Anxious Hearts” with some really incredible musicians, Taylor Carroll (Lit) and Arejay Hale (Halestorm). The concept of overcoming anxiety is really a universal one and lyrically we were able to come up with a message that we felt could resonate with so many different types of people. In a world where everyone is so divisive it feels necessary to write a song that cuts through all that.”
“We wanted to imagine what the future of entertainment and filmmaking might be like. You already have the algorithm personalizing your feed. You have AR + VR experiences becoming more and more immersive. We imagined a future “cerebral reality” experience that would be tailored to each person’s fears and anxieties. You go to the theatre and the cerebral reality glasses allow you to watch your own fears as a film — imagine exposure therapy as entertainment.”
The music video starts off with the band walking into a showing of a film of the same name as the single. They’re then seem walking towards a theater room for a “Cerebral Reality” experience after being handed goggles which forces them to relish their anxious minds with surreal abstract and dark visuals. This is a great play on how technology and personal struggles affect the human mind. By the end, they each realize they’re in control by smiling and taking off their anxiety goggles. Just as the lyrics say:
Anxiety always taking over me
When I try to fall asleep
Heartbeat racing endlessly I’m suffering
With you I can barely breathe
You can’t take the rest of me
Why don’t you just set me free
Due to the 1.5 million Spotify streams, it’s no surprise this popular band has released yet another great single. "Anxious Hearts" was not only co-written by Lit's Taylor Carroll and Halestorm's Arejay Hale, but also produced by Mike Plotnikoff (My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach). The band has more exciting news on the horizon, revolving around new music and even a comic book that will accompany their next body of work. Be sure to stay tuned for more Satellite Citi news coming soon.
