John Van Deusen premieres “Social Sucker”

John Van Deusen is thrilled to share his newest single, “Social Sucker,” playing below. The song is the latest from Van Deusen’s forthcoming album, (I Am) Origami Pt. 3 – A Catacomb Hymn, out July 19th via Tooth & Nail Records. Pre-orders are available now at https://jvd.lnk.to/mine.

“The term “social sucker” is something I made up (I think?) to describe people who come across as leeches in social situations,” shares Van Deusen. “They take and never give; they see people as resources and fuel for their own flames of ambition. Clearly, most of us are guilty of seeing other people as crude oil at some point in our lives.”

He continues: “Sometimes I feel like I’m singing this song to myself as a stern reminder. Whether singing to myself or not, I am communicating to someone who I don’t recognize anymore because they have immersed themselves within a community of ‘social suckers.’ In some ways, I’m pleading with them to leave it all behind and come back to a more sincere reality. I think sometimes we get so deep in to those situations that we don’t really know who we are anymore.”

(I Am) Origami Pt. 3 – A Catacomb Hymn will be released on July 19^th through Tooth & Nail Records. For this album and its forthcoming sequel, Van Deusen teamed with producer and friend Andy D. Park (Pedro the Lion, Deep Sea Diver). Fans can pre-order it now at https://jvd.lnk.to/mine.
