M.A.G.S. premieres his new single & music video for “Smile.” The track is a post-punk, dream-pop anthem written from the perspective of a person stuck between apathy and an eagerness to change.
“’Smile’ is written about the intense emotion of a typical lovers quarrel,” elaborates M.A.G.S. “Choosing brutal honesty over tactful bedside manor, apathy over compassion and the undying desire to be in the right in a situation where the biggest thing at stake is each other’s feelings. The push and pull of emotions and the fiery anecdotes that engulf every disagreement eventually collapse into a singular moment of exasperation when you realize you don’t remember what you were even fighting about.” He continues, “‘Smile’ explores the dark, brooding thoughts of one person’s longing to change and trying to find a middle ground between two peoples’ needs.”
