Brimming with an infectious energy that is bound to consume you, ‘Lost for Words’ by RISE revives good old rock with a contemporary polish and brings to you a freshness that you can’t resist.
The song imbibes 80s synth pop energy and with that it blends classic rock music ingredients. The song in itself keeps alive the greats that came before it through its production choices.The vocals in the song remind you of the rock vocalists of the 90s, and if we are being specific, it might strongly remind you of Eddie Vedder because of the depth and movement of the voice.
The restless, urgent quality of the vocals put together with the equally urgent nature of the instrumentation, gives the song a stadium ready energy. You can easily imagine yourself and countless others screaming out their lungs to the track. The guitar solos in the track are a cherry on top of the cake, the cake being the already brilliant instrumentation and vocals.
Lyrically, the song alludes to the themes that, more or less, all of us have related or will relate to at some point in our lives. The end of a relationship often settles within us a paralysing kind of sadness and grief that takes over our lives for quite some time. This song shifts that narrative and talks about accepting what has happened, getting yourself together, and moving on with your life despite the sadness that threatens to take over your senses.
Solid rock energy blended with deep emotionality, it will be a surprise if this song isn’t an instant favourite of yours the moment you listen to it.
