Mercy Club Release New Single/Video "Too Late"

Denver folk collective Mercy Club, most known for their song about letting the intrusive thoughts win, has returned with a brand new single and video. “Too Late” takes on a conversational tone, at first tackling moments where it feels like life has passed you by and you’ve missed your chance at a job, a relationship, or a dream. On the flipside, frontman Darren Thornberry also notes that it’s too soon to grieve and give up hope. The song was inspired by the death of one of Thornberry’s friends, though the lyrical impact certainly feels universal. “Didn’t anybody ask you what you want wanted when you were young? Always just reacting,” Thornberry notes. The implication seems to pose a question of if someone could be set up for pain and failure early on and never really having a say in life. It’s not entirely a bleak song, but Thornberry seems to have a way of saying the kinds of things many people think about but don’t have an outlet for. Check it out below.
