The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart’s frontman Kip Berman says he wrote “My Only” a long time ago, but that it never felt finished. “I still don’t know if I’m old enough, but it’s finished. The song is the opposite of what a single should be — it’s sprawling and unconcerned with immediateness, because it’s about something that isn’t immediate. So many young bands sing idly of absolute devotion, and that’s cool. But I am not young anymore. There’s something about my life now that makes this song feel honest in a way it didn’t before.” The Echo Of Pleasure is out September. 1st on the band’s label Painbow.
