The melodic duo bridges electronic, pop, and alternative elements to create a fresh, explosive sound that British metal magazine Fireworks hailed as \u201c<em>exciting and creative\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Lyrically, the track is about mental health struggles.\u00a0<em>\u201cNo matter how well-intentioned you and the people around you are, there\u2019s nothing that can be done to help unless you can see and acknowledge the root of the problem,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0says the band.\u00a0<em>\u201cNo matter how much you try to cultivate happiness, there\u2019s always that \u201clandmine\u201d of unresolved issues, lurking underneath, just waiting to destroy you when you least expect it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\" data-carousel-extra=\"{&quot;blog_id&quot;:29180280,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/heartriotagency.wordpress.com\\\/2022\\\/07\\\/07\\\/project-vela-releases-you-cant-fix-me\\\/&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"embed-spotify\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spotify Embed: You Can&amp;apos;t Fix Me\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/111VTYdFU8DKPojiOorF3b?si=fa15d515665b45be&amp;utm_source=oembed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"80\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>\u2018You Can\u2019t Fix Me\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0is the lead single and start of the album release cycle for the upcoming EP titled\u00a0<strong><em>Elsewhere<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Fall 2022). Which promises to further focus on mental health.\u00a0<em>\u201cThe whole EP is really just a journey through different thoughts while dealing with intense depressive episodes.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0explains the band.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the single, the band has also released a music video, created by cinematographer Kyle Lamar of Digital Myle. \u201c<em>The idea behind this video is kind of a last-man-on-earth-in-a-desolate-landscape scenario<\/em>,\u201d says the band. \u201c<em>He has some seeds that he\u2019s trying to plant, and cultivate new growth to bring a glimmer of hope through the desolation. In the beginning, we see him inadvertently cover a landmine with dirt as he\u2019s planting. Throughout the song, we see him go through the emotional struggle of trying so hard to make something grow, and being so careful, and thoughtful, and methodical about his process, but ultimately only finding disappointment. In the final moments of the video, we see that something has finally grown, green and vibrant, and in his celebration and relief, he steps on the landmine and is blown into oblivion. It\u2019s meant to be a pretty on-the-nose metaphor for the song<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The single is currently available across all major streaming platforms.

The entirely DIY project, from the musical minds of lead vocalist Scott Spriggs and multi-instrumentalist co-producer Travis Owen, draws comparisons to their own idols, including Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Starset, and I Prevail. Since their 2017 debut, Project Vela has been steadily growing a devoted fan base of over 75,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, while racking up millions of streams on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt
