The latest Satellite Train’s single, “Paralyzed”, is bold and emotional pop-rock anthem that strikes a note. Combining the vibes of classic rock and the sound of contemporary pop, this Melbourne’s indie band has produced a track that is not only new but also takes you back to previous sound.
The song explores the dark themes of loneliness, yearning and looking for connection. It starts gently, with relaxing verses that seem to be late-night woman’s thought. However, as the song goes into crescendo, it bursts forth into a powerful chorus that is passion and energy-packed. Pounding tribal drums as well as rich layers of sounds make the experience intense and unforgettable.
What is most noticeable is how balanced this “Paralyzed” is in terms of its strong emotional message and its catchy uplifting sounds. It is about the freedom of love that it can bring-the sense of being really seen and taken care of. That feeling of being cured pervades in each note.
The production is top-notch. It is possible to hear the experience and proficiency of the band in every second. From glistening guitars and synths to the Howler-style, raw, and expressive vocals, everything fits perfectly. The voice of the singer is filled with passion and power and all of the lyrics hit the listener with strength.
There is a sense of something human about this track. Despite its big sound and lush production, “Paralyzed” still sounds real and nothing short of honest. It is an emotional adventure.
This song talks to the deepest parts of anyone regardless of whether they feel lost or are in need of some inspiration. Satellite Train demonstrate once again that they are virtuosi of combining deep emotions with vibrant music. “Paralyzed” is a way of saying that even when we are the most down and out in this world, music can turn the lights of our blackest night on.
