"you're my baby / you're my angel / open mouth asks / are you able to release me / from my story..."
The inner turmoil, ringing guitar suspensions, wrapping bass and drums dance of "Inside" by Boston Massachusetts bred Walk Me Home feels full of kept secrets and unkempt beds. I adore the vocal countenance and the poetry that feels born out of personal unwritten journals, "you're my baby / you're my angel / open mouth asks / are you able / to release me / from my story / fastened to me / physically / my hot forehead / on your knee / now i'm on mine / ready to please", and there is the sense of cathartic bloodletting or maybe just bloodletting, of allowing us to see wounds and scars.
The band that currently exists between Boston and Hamilton- Ontario, Canada shares this about the track:
[inside is a song of lust and yearning for relief…a song of desire for solace and clarity.. for closeness and nearness to endings…to god and the shining end of death…a soft tune tornado where skin craves skin and birth gives death]
[inside is a song of lust and yearning for relief…a song of desire for solace and clarity.. for closeness and nearness to endings…to god and the shining end of death…a soft tune tornado where skin craves skin and birth gives death]
The tumultuousness, maybe desperation, maybe intense forgiving's or forgiveness or longing feels not only expressed in the vocal performance but in the beautifully passionate musical interplay that, at times, feels discordant but cohesively so and furiously detached and crashing down among all the words. Love where this song goes and how it gets there.
"Inside" is from Walk Me Home's debut album "What Do You Think" released April 26th, 2024.
You can listen to it at the band's Bandcamp and if purchased will gain access to a bonus track and a digital booklet.
