Alt-Pop Artist Tim Qualls Drops New Track, "Grave"

Houston, TX (August 25, 2023) - Houston-based Alt-Pop artist Tim Qualls just released a new track, “Grave” on Friday, August 25. “Grave” is the second single released from Qualls’ upcoming debut album. The lyrics behind this upbeat Pop song dive into the fear associated with forming new relationships and opening up to someone. Sharing the good, bad, and ugly parts of yourself with a new person can be scary and leave you feeling exposed.

The title of the song, “Grave” is ironically contrasted with the jovial nature of the track’s instrumentals, featuring an infectious bass line and ethereal synth elements. “Grave” serves as a reminder that everyone has some type of skeleton in the closet, and sometimes leaning into the fear of exposing those secrets will set you free. Without letting the lyrics sink in, one would think this track is about cheating or lying in a relationship. By letting the lyrics sink in, listeners will find that the song is more about insecurity and vulnerability than it is about toxicity. “Grave” was meant for listeners to enjoy and have some fun with while realizing that the track is also riddled with deeper meanings and metaphors.
