Indie Singer-Songwriter Dawson Fuss Mourns The Loss Of A Friend In Emotional Ballad “Never Really Knew”

Having released his debut EP edge of adolescence last week, indie pop newcomer Dawson Fuss has shared his emotional ballad “Never Really Knew”. A reset of sorts from his uplifting indie pop energy, Dawson reaches into his past with a powerful sense of vulnerability as he opens up about a difficult time in his life after losing a close friend to suicide. “My brain was ignorant of the severity of what I went through, so I held off any kind of grief work,” Dawson explains. “After eventually speaking with a counselor about what I had gone through and my lack of acceptance of it, she recommended I try writing a song about it to begin the processing stage of grief. Once my pencil touched the paper, my thoughts floated from my subconscious to the scratch of the pencil. It was one of the fastest songs I wrote.”

His candid and expressive songwriting makes for a cathartic and captivating listening experience, as he transposes his dark emotions into song, singing “I never really knew / and now you’re not here anymore” with each passing chorus.
