Sturt Avenue’s ‘Talk’ is a poignant, plaintive, and powerful piece of folk rock that speaks to anyone who has ever struggled to move on from a past relationship. The feeling and emotional is ever so universal, but there’s a degree of sadness and morose melancholy that the guitar work is able to echo that makes those vocal harmonies in the chorus line that much more resonant.
Talk captures the pain and regret of trying to reconnect with an ex-partner after a night of drinking, with the lyrics and delivery brimming with a sincerity behind the emotion that’s brazenly unfiltered yet keenly vulnerable. The chorus is particularly striking, with a haunting melody that lingers in your mind long after the song ends. The delectable blend of growling guitars, accordion, and violins create a rich, textured sound that firmly gives it that haunting realness.
If you’re down in the dumps thinking of hitting that regrettable call late into the night, “Talk” is sure to be a moment of comfort for where and why you’re feeling what you are.
