Ball on the making of his new single: “Numb is for everybody that feels like giving up, for the misunderstood souls all over the world that feel like they don’t matter, the underdogs that life has dealt a bad hand that can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. This record captures that feeling of being numb to the pain, and it reminds so many of us that have been down and out that we are not crazy for feeling the way we feel, but most importantly, that we are not alone. The significance of this record is not only does it capture the feeling sonically, but lyrically, it puts those exact emotions into words for so many of us that don’t know how to.”
