South African rock icons Watershed have once again set the stage ablaze with their latest single release, ‘This Town’. Led by the enigmatic Craig Hinds, the band’s newest offering promises to be a melodic journey of contentment and companionship, resonating deeply with audiences worldwide.
Craig Hinds shares his thoughts on the single
“‘This Town’ is a song about contentment. It’s about learning together, being wrong and right together, and ultimately knowing that you are traveling the same path together.”
“‘Take me down that road you’re traveling on’ – I want to be on that same road. Once you realize this and understand that it’s meant to be, you become happy in the same town, the same place… ‘The times we have are just right, I don’t need no more, I feel happy tonight.'”
