Closer

This track is about being human, having expectations on yourself that you can not fulfil and constantly battling with yourself. 

I wrote this song with Nic Manders (Brooke Fraser) and its was produced by Sam De Jong.

Enjoy

Rubén Crown Too Much to Bear

Written by Stevie Tonks Produced by Sam de Jong at Parachute Studios


They say there’s no better therapy than songwriting; an adage that’s all too true for heart-on-sleeve songwriter Rubén Crown.   The third in a trilogy of raw, genre-defying tunes, Too Much to Bear is a song that crept up on Crown. “When I sat down to write the track, I was coming from a place of frustration with someone dear to me,” the songwriter explains, “They had this harmful view of themselves that was causing them pain – but this strange, self-inflicted pain.”  “It wasn’t until I had finished the song that I realised it was actually about my own inner battles” he concludes. Too Much to Bear represents a realization that in so many ways, we are our own worst enemies, and that the real battle is in confronting ourselves.”

Produced by Sam de Jong (Ginny Blackmore, Stan Walker), Too Much to Bear swings from an ominous R&B slink to the determined swagger of the chorus. As usual, Crown’s emotionality is at the forefront as he delivers what he does best; a cathartic dose of leftfield pop music.
