The Transits are back with a fresh banger, and this one is something that delves into an emotional theme that you can take in different ways, but for me, it felt like dealing with certain kinds of struggles, and those are put into the terms of light and dark, and the song itself.
"Dancing With The Shadows" has that great metaphoric sense and sentiment attached to it, but it's something many can connect with because a lot of us battle or struggle with the dark side of our thoughts or situations that come up in life.
To me, the song is about exactly that. Battling demons or struggling with things that bring you down, and that's the dark side.
The light side is the positive, making sure that you can focus and appreciate the good things in life. The things that come along that brighten it up. The things that you can have gratitude for or can appreciate daily.
This is a track that follows suit in the true Transits approach with this glorious pop punk feel, but edging on alternative rock, along with the classic blend of vibrancy and melodically driving vocals, and a bursting and sort of explosive style chorus.
One of the things that I love most about this track is the bass guitar tone. This is not a new thing for the band, but I love how they're always able to input that bass guitar tone and give it a strong riff and key role in the song so that the pop-punk overtone comes through heavy-handedly.
These guys always know how to take that pop punk and alternative rock and put them together seamlessly, and this track is a perfect example of exactly that.
You can tell there was a lot of thought going into the lyrical approach of the song.
The message came through loud and clear for me, but again, for others, it may come through a little differently.
I guess it just depends on who's listening.
There is normally a lot of good messaging behind the music of The Transits and this is a song that's one of the latest in a batch of single releases that have been dropping each month for the past 4 or 5 months.
As far as we can tell, or hope anyway, this is leading up to an album.
I absolutely loved the guitar tone throughout this track and how it really gets pushed forward during those big bang choruses. Hitting us with these giant choruses that are hook-laden so that they kind of bounce around in your brain for a while.
Another attribute of this band that never lets us down is the avenue of music videos.
These guys are ever so inventive with their music videos, and some of them are shot professionally on location with a crew and all. Others are edited together with old films; this one is an AI-driven music video, but you can tell there was a lot of work that went into the editing portions of it as well.
Directed by Arthur Machado and Paranoid Brazil, the video portrays light and dark in the physical sense and the darkness creeps up on people, touches them, follows them, and you can see how the metaphor is right in your face throughout the whole thing.
The music video did a lot of great work portraying the message of the song and giving it the light and dark it needed at the right time.
I'm not going to lie, it is a little bit creepy because there's this kind of dark sludge stuff that follows people around, kind of like Stranger Things or something like that.
I love the aesthetic and how it works so well for the lyrical content and messaging of the track.
This was awesome, and it goes right along with some of the previous things that they've been releasing, which you should absolutely check out as well, because these guys are next level through and through.
The Transits are a band you want to follow and they put out lots of amazing music that have those edgy overtones and alternative rock and punk vibes but there's a lot of layers happening with the songs and lyrically they can take a more whimsical or a more serious approach but, either way you're going to get attached to it.
Start with this one because it's awesome, and watch the music video which we've obviously embedded below, and then go to their Spotify or even their YouTube to check out more
Through and loads of tracks that you're going to love absolutely, especially if you dig this one.
Once again, The Transits do not let us down whatsoever.
Check it out and remember where you heard it first.
