SINGLE REVIEW: Overshare - I’m Sad

‘I’m Sad’ by Overshare is an energetic joyride through the complex mental landscape of vocalist Eric Rosener, who candidly reflects on the impact of his bipolar disorder on his life and relationships. The track begins with a dark, chiming intro, featuring haunting guitars and noise rock tendencies that lay down heavy, thoughtful riffs. The drums ramble chaotically in the background, creating an atmosphere that feels almost improvised, suggesting an internal struggle that’s both raw and real.

Just as the listener expects the gloom to settle in, the song takes an unexpected turn, bursting into an upbeat, funky explosion. With spiky, bright guitars and driven drums, Rosener’s vocals adopt a swagger-filled, arty stance reminiscent of Art Brut's Eddie Argos with off the wall flair, adding an intriguing layer to the track’s narrative. It bends and weaves through flamboyant, dramatic flavours, showcasing the band’s versatility.

The mid-section ramps up the intensity, introducing jangly hooks that elevate the melodic nature of the song. This unique and distinctive track is filled with intricacies and eccentricities, striking a perfect balance between playful and profound. Ultimately, ‘I’m Sad’ offers a compelling take on serious themes, inviting listeners to embrace the fun in life’s mistakes while reflecting on the challenges that shape us.
