This title has become synonymous with power, strength and determination. What I felt to be a synthwave single evolved to become something much larger than I would have imagined. As soon as you hear those running drums, you feel the energy just pipe up within you. Though Jacob and the Starry Eyed Shadows write lyrics that are true and real, there is a surety in songs like Broke and Borrowed as well. The ups and downs are documented, while keeping the score on the highs and lows. The sea of guitar gives you that buoyant confidence that will keep you going through your days. In the breakdown of this single, you’ll really feel your pulse rise and that desire to chase your dreams. From the depths of a cynical world, rises a musician like Jamie, who wants to change it all.
Jacob and the Starry Eyed Shadows have more singles like When the Lights Go Out and Our Descent for you to check out. Love, Simon (2018) would be a great movie for this song. It has some fantastic sequences that need this kind of adrenaline energy, and has a nice script to explore as well. Follow Jamie with his project for more!
