![]() ![]() Nothing drives music better than emotion, and the loss of Jeremy Bolm's mother is bound to be channeled through his music. ![]() we can't say for certain, but the prospect of it is exciting. Stage Four seems to be building up to be a very emotional record anger, sadness, regret. As for the track itself, I'm not the biggest fan but I like the message and the story is sweet. This song is one of the few cases where I can say that the music video makes the song even better. Touché Amoré knows how to play with your emotions. The way the color changes from the beginning to the end shows how this sad activity of pretending his mother is there with him becomes more of a comforting thing, as if he could do one more thing for his mother to make her happy. Bolm walking through the city with the empty wheelchair is his way of finally taking her there. ![]() Perhaps she always had dreams of living in the big city and living under all of the grand lights, but passed away before that came true. I like to think the empty wheelchair is a symbol for his mother, and that makes this song being sung from her perspective - Julien Baker's female vocals are his mother singing the message too. As the song climaxes, all of the color starts to surround the scenes, as if it's an acceptance. It pictures Bolm traveling through New York pushing around an empty wheelchair, seeing sights in black and white. The music video makes the song even more real and somber. It's a bit odd, but it's not the vocals that make the track. Bolm's clean vocals make this track sound like a heavy Ariel Pink song. The song builds up to a big climax at the end, harmonies of vocals and screams ultimately taking it out with a bigger instrumental complete with crash cymbals and tremolo guitar sounding high in the background. While the harmony is interesting, it's more captivating to hear the longing in Bolm's voice as he signs " To live there, under the lights" is its own gift. Bolm is the real focus of the song, despite the female guest. Jeremy Bolm and guest vocalist Julien Baker sing somberly as moments of guitar punch through. It's not a very intense track as far as its sonic soundscape goes it begins with rolling drums and reverberating clean guitars. The song is an ode to New York City, in all of the most heartbreaking of ways. The band has shared the song ' Skyscrapers' from the record. This album will be full of those emotions he experienced. Stage Four is the follow up to 2013's Is Survived By, and it's bound to be something special - it's a very personal record for vocalist Jeremy Bolm, who lost his mother to cancer in 2014. At the forefront of melodic hardcore is Touché Amoré, and their fourth record is just on the horizon. Atop the skyscraper One hundred and two floors New York City It was yours. ![]()
