Kurt Baker Releases New Song “Inner Demons”
American singer-songwriter Kurt Baker released a new song “Inner Demons” on November 15, 2024 via Wicked Cool Records.
The song is the follow-up to “Delusional”, which was released in September.
It was written by Geoff Palmer, Kurt Baker, and Wyatt Funderburk who also produced the track.
Initially, the track was written for the 2023 album “Rock N Roll Club”, but did not make it onto the album.
“It's kinda annoying to trace many stories back to such a horrible time, the pandemic, but this song came from that period. Locked in strict confinement in Madrid, I was in my tiny room, just listening to the radio and watching episodes of Bob Newhart,” Kurt Baker said of the song. “'Inner Demons' was originally called "Keep Wishing" and I wanna thank my friend from Australia, Mark, for being the instigator for this track. He had asked me to start throwing around some song ideas for a possible record for his band, the Stanleys. This is one of the songs that came from that time I was stuck inside and just writing tracks. It's changed a lot since then.”- He continued, “It became a contender for the 'Rock N Roll Club' LP, but never made the cut. When I came back to those tracks that had been leftover from the sessions, I started to rework 'Keep Wishing' with my pals and bandmates Geoff Palmer and Wyatt Funderburk. Geoff is great with lyrics and got inspired, and he started sending me lots of different lyrical lines, and from that the song took a whole new direction. Wyatt came up with a bridge part and before we knew it, we had a another track finished.”

He added, “Theme wise, this track is another introspective kind of vibe. Gotta send my inner demons back to hell... we always have those negative thoughts, but this song is about trying to let go of the negativity and gravitate towards positivity. At least, that's what I make out of it. Musically, we are referencing bands from my youth, like the last track 'Delusional'. This one definitely has hints of Green Day, Alkaline Trio or maybe even the Bouncing Souls. I hope you dig it!” - source : Apple Music
