With a perfect mix of pop and rock, Satellite Train creates an empowering track surrounding the feeling of uncertainty, self-doubt, and perhaps dread, turning it into something hopeful. The vocals soar and power through, making sure every line is heard for listeners to digest.
It’s the type of song to play when you’re at the brink of giving up or despair, as the instrumental sounds bright, something that will make your ears perk. Not only does it feel like a helping hand, but it somewhat dictates (in a positive way) how someone should be, entirely for their well-being. The repetitions of “Why can’t you hear? I’m calling out” emphasizes the main point of standing back up, a sign that no one is ever really alone, with the vocals acting as voices from friends and loved ones.
Comforting in its own way, may it be through intent or through technical sound, “Paralyzed” also comprises an energy that belongs to a beloved picture or play. The way the layers harmonize makes it a great contender for something bigger, to fully utilize the impact the whole song holds.
Overall, it truly is such an uplifting song. It’s for everyone to listen to in more ways than one, as the sound’s versatility is sure to be appealing for most – if not all – audiences. Give this a shot! You won’t regret it.
