A powerful and heavy-handed new single from Clozure comes packed with massive emotional push and a sentiment that a lot of us can relate to, which is something that ends up really engulfing you in the song itself.
This is a track that showcases a beautifully cinematic and sort of orchestrated approach to alternative rock, and it's a power ballad. But it comes from a genuine place, which is something that sinks in right from the start.
The vocals across the song are passionate and unafraid. The whole thing is elegantly done but still showcases a classical alternative rock edginess, with a wonderfully thematic aesthetic, and again, that sentiment that really it's home for a lot of us.
"Walk In The Sun" is a song about loss. It's about a heartbreak, and missing that person so much that you can feel them sometimes.
Now, the way that the vocalist articulates the emotional gamut that comes with losing somebody close is amazing.
She blends metaphoric and straightforward approaches lyrically, so that you can get a great grasp on everything that's going on. She's descriptive but elegantly approaches what she wants to say, so the point comes across, but so does the emotion.
Speaking of which, there are quite a few emotions that run through the veins of this song as it unfolds.
It's a longing. A wish to have one more day with that person.
This is so imperative to understand because for anyone who's lost somebody close to them or that they love, this will hit home. It will pull at your heartstrings, it will make you feel.
This is a song that doesn't hold back, but again, is done with a sort of beautiful tonality that goes through a lot of the emotions of loss.
Of course, there's the sadness, a little bit of aggression, and acceptance.
It's amazing how all of this is woven into a 4-minute and 15-second track.
There's definitely a lot to hold on to here, but it is very impactful and sort of stays with you.
One of the things I really enjoyed was how the song was built and composed. The arrangement is brilliant, the song has room to breathe, you get the sentiment loud and clear, you can feel the emotion flowing through everything, which is totally infectious no matter what that emotion is at the time, and the choruses are very big but not over the top.
Clozure is a band that can take whatever direction they want, while remaining under that alternative rock umbrella.
This track gives you that intensity and honesty. Those inner thoughts just come right out, and they hit pretty hard.
The song is introduced with clean guitars and these kinds of almost synth pad-sounding elements that create a thick atmosphere and depth. You get the vastness and the spacious tones right from the start of the song, so you kind of get swallowed up quickly.
The vocal performance and lyrics finish the job, and by the time you get halfway through that first verse, you're swimming in the ocean that is this song.
As the song plays on, you get violins that are absolutely beautiful and only push the emotional and cinematic boundaries even further, vocal harmonies that build up and fluctuate, and intensity, and it never loses sight of the heart that's at the center of it all.
Yes, this is a song with layers, but it has meaning, and that meaning is what gives it its depth.
I was pretty blown away by how everyone in this band was able to connect to the sentiment of the lyrics in such a way that they were able to provide this mood surrounding it.
The builds leading up to the choruses are outstanding; the whole thing just swells and sways, it pulls you left and right, but that pull, again, is mostly emotional.
This is a rock band that clearly showcases all kinds of different sides to how they write their songs and what they're able to portray with their performances.
The guitar tones and performance throughout this track are perfect. Again, nothing is super over the top because the guitars aren't the focus of this one.
They are subtly done, and they hit that climactic and more powerful approach during the choruses when the emotion is at its height.
By the end of the song, you have everything full of throttle. Violins, vocals, guitars, everything is sort of in your face, and that explosive element of acceptance and being okay with feeling sad or even just feeling anything about that kind of loss or heartbreak, is evident.
Absolutely, check this song out.
This is not a single you want to miss.
