SINGLE REVIEW: Shadow Sides - take me back
'Take Me Back' blends intimate songwriting with dreamy shoegaze atmospheres and riffs influenced by 80’s post-punk, creating a dramatic and emotionally compelling soundscape.
The song envelopes the listener in a hazy and jangly musical landscape, with ethereal, fuzzed-out vocals adding to the dreamlike quality. A mellow 90's vibe permeates the track, creating a sense of nostalgia and contemplation. The use of catchy chords contributes to the overall feeling of a slow, introspective journey.
'Take Me Back' exudes a laid-back stance, capturing a certain summer vibe that eludes to a bygone era. The lyrics delve into themes of regret, fear of change, and the desire to regress to a time before things took a downturn. The narrative unfolds with mixed messages, mistakes, and a somewhat tumultuous period, making the song a poignant exploration of emotions and reflections.
