Electro-Pop’s Poet of Pain: Me & Melancholy Releases ‘Tears In The Rain’

‘Tears In The Rain’  by  Me & Melancholy Whenever there’s a new release from Me & Melancholy , it fills us with anticipation. This time, the artist paints a compelling portrait of human vulnerability and the complexity of interpersonal relationships.  ‘Tears In The Rain’ succeeds in capturing the essence of ephemeral beauty and the pain of the inevitable, expressing it through music. The dynamics of estrangement, articulated in the lines ‘I’m not able to reach you ’ and ‘ the more I try, the further I push you away ’, reflect a tragic irony. It feels like a dance of approach and withdrawal, prompting listeners to contemplate the paradoxes that often occur in our most intimate relationships.  The artist’s signature melancholic tone conveys a plea for acceptance and an attempt to bridge the gap created by misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

Beautifully Melancholy at the End of the World: “4/8” by Lessens

“4/8” by Lessens

Rarely does a nearly 10-minute song convince so effortlessly.

“4/8” is their latest single, which transports the listener into calm and penetrating sound textures that pervade life like a melancholic fog. Thematically, they retreat into the dark alleys of existence, where one has unlearned the ability, if it is one, to socialize. Facing existential challenges, it’s about mustering the strength, resilience, and self-belief to carry on. The Bristol-based Jamie Harper (guitar, vocals), Ben Curtis (bass guitar), and Andy Holliday (drums) craft a gloomy setting where it seems happiness has been lost and mere functioning takes precedence. 
Lessens not only imbues the lyrics with substance but also enhances them with a deep musical underpinning. All three musicians manage to create an atmosphere of sad existence, wandering on the fringes of society. “4/8” by Lessens is beautifully sounding melancholy at the end of the world.
