Gary Dranow together with The Manic Emotions touches the heart once again with their latest single, "Self Sacrifice." Released on February 1st, it offers listeners a window into the minds of artists who pour their souls into their work.
As Self Sacrifice begins, one feels immediately drawn into the band's collective journey. Simple guitar plucking builds tension before Dranow's gritty vocals enter, rich with the weight of experience. The vague lyrics discuss our inherent despair and deep sorrow. The band's superb musical storytelling has a redeeming effect, despite the subjects appearing grim at first.
The song balances light and dark, despair and optimism. This emotional complexity stems from the diversity of the band members themselves. Their diverse backgrounds and skill sets combine to create a special blend of narrative and modern rock. Every note reflects their camaraderie and sense of shared passion for music.
While the themes explored are deeply personal, "Self Sacrifice" remains highly approachable. Relatable sentiments and simple instrumentation allow listeners to connect with the humanity behind the music easily. As the song crescendos towards its bittersweet finish, one walks away with a greater sense of our collective experience.
These weighty themes may have felt heavy-handed in the hands of less capable musicians. Yet Dranow and The Manic Emotions elevate the song with refined grace. "Self Sacrifice" is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. Its emotional resonance will linger with listeners long after the last haunting note fades.
Lyrics
You feel a dark light deep in your heart
You knew that was mistake
And you fall down to the flames
You can't just cut the chains
Your eyes is darker than mine
One thing can cut your breath
It's the blade of knife
Three sides for glory
A part of the detail
The end of story
A tethered eagle
Kill the ones for all
Just the ones for all
Your karma never sleeps
And always leave them out
Enemy is buried deep
But you got lost in the deep
Three sides for glory
A part of the detail
The end of story
A tethered eagle
Kill the ones for all
Just the ones for all
Kill the ones for all
Just the ones for all
Three sides for glory
A part of the detail
The end of story
A tethered eagle
Three sides for glory
A part of the detail
The end of story
A tethered eagle
Kill the ones for all
Just the ones for all
Kill the ones for all
Just the ones for all
Just the ones
