Weeping delivers a heartfelt tribute with ‘still here, still alive’. In this record, the artist has blended emotional vocals and honest lyrics into something meaningful.
Some songs take ample time to settle in, while others just take you by storm. This type of music creates an emotional turmoil inside you from the very first beat, but at the same time, they make you feel alive. Weeping’s recent project is that exact type, and by far, this is my favorite release of his so far. ‘still here, still alive’ opens with a very steady composition, allowing the lyrics and vocals to settle in. Gentle guitar work floats across the track, while the rhythm holds everything together with a firm grip. The writing is where the song hits hardest. It is almost like an intimate message meant for someone close, but in this scenario, it is us, his audience.
There is pain in the words, yet there is also a sense of holding on. I found myself pulled into that honesty of ‘still here, still alive’. The vocal delivery adds another layer to it. It stays natural and a bit rough around the edges. This works in absolute favor for the record. There is a soft vulnerability in the voice that makes the tribute land stronger. As a result, the song reaches you instantly, immediately, and without trying too hard. What I like the most about Weeping and his recent record is how the song carries both loss and endurance at the same time. You can listen to the song along with the previous releases in his discography, like ‘Exhaust’, ‘Head in my Hands’, ‘6th Story View’, ‘Tree Sap’, etc., on Spotify.
