Rise

“Rise” is the upbeat new power anthem from singer China Forbes (lead singer of Pink Martini), the second single from her upcoming long-awaited new solo album. This song of hope was written for and is dedicated to China's Pink Martini bandmate Derek Rieth, who lost a long battle with bipolar disorder when he took his own life in 2014. From China Forbes: "When my bandmate and great friend, Derek Rieth, was suffering with depression, I sent him a text with some imagery that I thought might help him: 'Rise to the surface of the water, so you can feel the sun on your face again...' I thought that if he stopped resisting the phase he was in, he would rise up out of its grasp. But depression is a desperate, enervated place, and too many of us cannot see a way out. After Derek died by suicide, the words in my text became a song—a song that I hope will help anyone who is suffering from hopelessness. There is hope, and I hope you can feel it."
