Music that goes beyond the surface and boundaries creates space for immersive and reflective listening experience. Deflecting Ghosts’ newest track “Broken” taps into this depth while it channels the classic rock and alternative metal soundscape that is both familiar and evocative.
Broken started with a delicate guitar plucking accompanied by soft hits of drum cymbals and snares which offers a gentle nudge that catches your ears. The track does not force nor demand anything, it will let you sit with your own thoughts, letting the emotions unravel naturally. The song progresses with heavy and distorted guitar riffs paired with punchy drum beats and dynamic shifts. Despite these, it’s steady enough that it does not feel too hard on the ears.
The band perfectly captured an inner sense of confrontation and hard truths that offers introspective lyrics, allowing space for personal reflection. The track is packed with emotional undercurrent written from personal conflicts and struggles yet it resonates and speaks with honesty. The vocals are gritty and cathartic, haunting but not aggressive, just enough to make you feel the vulnerability. The track ends with a powerful line, “…give you everything I have, it’s not much but it’s still everything I am”, like a silent yield or surrender.
The band made a genius move to release this song — it’s raw and human, at the same time, it seeks healing and hope. Broken by Deflecting Ghosts deserves to have a space in your music library, give it a spin with your rock and alternative metal playlist!
