SINGLE REVIEW: LongRoad - Breathe
'Breathe' opens with a captivating, laid-back vibe that gradually evolves into a tapestry of heavy riffs and impactful sounds. A musical journey continually builds and recedes, reflecting the emotions and thoughts within the lyrics. It beautifully captures the sensation of feeling stifled by life, suppressed, and yearning for the simple freedom to breathe. It expresses a deep desire for liberation from everything that can make life seem overwhelmingly oppressive and suffocating.
It captivates with its grand alt-rock sound, borrowing elements from grunge with themes filled with angst and powerful guitar distortion. The drums skillfully weave a dynamic structure, blending a percussive rhythm with explosive outbursts alongside more groove-driven moments. The bass provides a pulsing heartbeat to the track, and the vocals, with their powerful and enigmatic quality, have a hazy quiver that adds depth and vulnerability. They effortlessly combine soulful melodiousness with soaring eruptions.
'Breathe' is a melancholic listen that captivates with its emotional depth. It delivers its message with brutal honesty and stands as an epic track with a diverse and captivating sound, highlighted by exceptional songwriting.
‘Breather’ is taken from the album “Faith In Greater Things”
