David Haerle’s “Do You Know Surrender?” is an effort that immediately adopts interesting time signatures and additional instruments beyond the traditional guitar/drum dynamics. A waltz-like set of strings immediately varies things, while Haerle’s vocals brings up hints of prog-rock. There is considerable charisma to each lyric in Do you Know Surrender?, while the middle bridge is perhaps the song’s high-water mark. The dynamic between both guitars, bass, drums, and strings is impressive; one will have to play the single multiple times before hearing each and every nuance that is contained within. Quite possibly Haerle’s best yet.
We’ve covered Haerle’s previous singles Finding Natalie and Women Make The World Go ‘Round in the last 18 months.
