Secretary of Fate comes not as a whisper, but with a message, a message in melody and meaning. Their debut single, “We Are All Stories In The End,” is more than a song. It’s a mirror, a reminder, even a reckoning.
Based on a wistful line from Doctor Who, spoken by Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor, this track is a plea for you to lean in and remember that life is a story, all being written in real time. The quotation may be familiar, but what Secretary of Fate does with it is anything but predictable. “We Are All Stories In The End” straddles the soulful fringe between alternative rock and great storytelling. There’s a sweetness to the verses, as if a whisper across ages, tied to a sweeping build broken open by a soaring chorus. The arrangement feels deliberate yet not forced. Each note serves a narrative purpose. It doesn’t try to do too much, it just is, and that’s where its power comes from.
There’s a poignant emotional honesty here you don’t find in a debut. This isn’t just a band introducing themselves, it’s a band setting forth their creed. The lyrics are less grand proclamations than subtle truths. The pull of memories, the pang of potential, and the injunction to live on purpose all stick around past the last note.
Wow, cool sound and very catchy! Def will check them out!
