Carmen Elle and Ben Kunder Bloom Together on ELLDER’s Debut Single, “Don’t Carry Things That Weigh You Down”

ELLDER, the collaborative project of singer-songwriters Carmen Elle and Ben Kunder, debuts with their powerful single “Don’t Carry Things That Weigh You Down.” A raw and evocative exploration of healing, growth, and transformation, the song is a poignant reflection of the duo’s unique ability to translate personal experiences into universal emotions.

Born from a period of deep introspection, “Don’t Carry Things That Weigh You Down” captures the process of letting go and finding hope. The song began with Ben’s quiet moments at the piano, coping with the trauma of nearly losing a loved one and revisiting the weight of past relationships.

That first verse was my way of coping for months. It wasn’t until my first songwriting session with Carmen that the song truly came to life. They immediately connected with the sentiment, and together we finished it in minutes. This song reflects our shared journey of healing and our deep connection as collaborators. – Ben Kunder
