Ultrasound

about

"Ultrasound" is more than just a song; it's a deeply personal and emotional journey that Lee, the lead singer, songwriter and producer, and his fiancée, Cat, embarked upon during a challenging period in their lives. Their story began with the hope of starting a family, but it took an unexpected turn when Cat was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Cat's diagnosis was a devastating blow, leading them down a path filled with uncertainty. To overcome the cancer, Cat underwent significant medical procedures, marking the start of a difficult journey that included medical treatments, doctor's appointments, and emotional hardships.
During this trying time, Lee turned to music as a source of solace. Amidst the chaos, he began composing "Ultrasound" to cope with the rollercoaster of emotions they both faced.
As Cat's chemotherapy progressed and "Ultrasound" neared completion, Lee had a profound idea. He wanted to make the song even more personal by including Cat's voice and additional lyrics, capturing her emotions and their shared journey. Cat's voice transformed "Ultrasound" into an intensely emotional and intimate piece of music, offering listeners a glimpse into their close connection and the strength that carried them through tough times.
To complement this heartfelt composition, the band decided to create an animated music video, with Kade, their keyboard player, taking charge. This decision was made to ensure the right sentiment was added rather than relying on an external video maker. This artistic approach aimed to convey the depth of their emotions and the challenges they overcame.
"Ultrasound" is now a tribute not only to their own journey but also a source of support and understanding for those who may find comfort in their story.
The band would like to share and celebrate that Cat’s treatment was successful and she is doing well. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
