With a lyric video delivered entirely through just a protagonist going through the emotions while drinking a bottle of wine, There’s such a realness to the pain being conveyed, that feeling of being trapped and lost while you’re supposed to be in a moment of celebration. It’s a powerful piece of artful pop music, with such a richness within its arrangement but nothing too loud or overbearing. There’s a cinematic quality to it all, driving forth till that breakdown when the beat kicks in and he blows the candles in the video, a pure moment of cathartic bliss that overwhelms you with emotions.
With its rich lyrics and immersive soundscapes, “Brawl” defies easy categorization and invites listeners to embark on a sonic journey. The song’s atmospheric quality transports you to a celebration where you find yourself simultaneously in control and yet still a passenger, unable to fully realize your desires. It captures the essence of yearning and the bittersweet realization that some wishes may never come true, no matter how strongly we may desire them.
A powerful visualisation of an even more powerful lyrical theme, this is an ideal companion video for a track.
