Music is beautiful right? How can a song so stunning come drenched in heartache?
Dead End is the debut single from Rain Corner, start as you mean to go on – hey Ryan! This song actually stopped me in my tracks – it’s unapologetically captivating, vulnerable yet charming.
The song opens with a lush guitar part that gives hints of Bears Den and Bon Ivr, you know that tone that just makes the hairs on your neck stand on end? yeah that one. Ryan’s vocal then enters and it’s filled with pain, heartache and so much emotion that it can almost be felt by the listener.
Dead End has an anger surrounding it, a pain we don’t yet understand but can feel in the way the music and lyrics are presented;
I don’t know what I’m doing anymore, you broke me to my very core
Dead End is the type of track you can imagine contemporary dancers using for a signature piece, portrating the push and pull of love and heartache, steeped in hatred and hurt but there being beauty in pain – the growth of an individual to move past this and become the best version of themselves.
We all know the best art has been created through times of adversity, where emotions are high yet so is creativity. There is something beautiful in that, these songs are where a listener can get lost, they feel understood in a world they maybe don’t understand themselves. Rain Corner has created that safe space in one song.
