“You Are a Piece of Me, You Are a Piece of Her ”El Ten Eleven

El Ten Eleven have shared a new video from, Tautology III, their forthcoming release out September 18, via Joyful Noise Recordings. Today, the band have shared “You Are a Piece of Me, You Are a Piece of Her”

Kristian Dunn on “You Are a Piece of Me, You Are a Piece of Her:”

“’You Are A Piece of Me, You Are A Piece of Her’ is a song for my daughter.” “The ‘Me’ and ‘Her’ in the title refers to my wife and me. I was envisioning when my wife and I depart this mortal coil someday (hopefully a long time from now!) and thought about my daughter living without us. It made me feel quite melancholy and emotional and this song is the result.”

El Ten Eleven jointly described the arc as “three records that represent the journey from adolescence through end of life. There are shared melodies and harmonies through all of the records, but each of the records has a distinct quality that represents three phases of life. The first (Tautology I), which represents adolescence, is angsty, aggressive and occasionally depressive. The second (Tautology II), which represents middle age, is mid-tempo. The last (Tautology III), which represents the golden years, is more ambient and quiet.”
