Soulful Electronic Duo Body Salt Share Their New Single "Please Avoid Your Grave"
Soulful electronic duo Body Salt are celebrating the release of their new single, “Please Avoid Your Grave.” The melodic ballad explores themes of love set to mellow synth beats, delving into the importance of simple moments between people and the fragility of life. Themes that resonate now more than ever as the world grapples with the Coronavirus pandemic.
“‘Please Avoid Your Grave’ was inspired by love for another,” the duo explains. “The song speaks to the desire for the one you love not to perish in any aspect; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or physically. It acknowledges the beauty and profound importance of simple moments with another, the desire for more, and the gratefulness for the past. It also illuminates the fragility of life and its absurdity. “Please Avoid Your Grave” is an anthemic love ballad meant to evoke feeling with its thoughtful lyrics, huge drum beats, and memorable synth melodies. The song is a reminder for people to always look for the beauty in every moment and cherish them and the ones we experience them with.”
“With the current situation happening in our world,” they continued, “we encourage people to bask in the love of those around them even in times of distance and isolation. Ideally this would be a time we strip away any barriers between others and dismantle ego we’ve inflated. We can survive on our own but we strive to stay alive for moments with others.”
