Known for their roaring indie-rock charisma, Broken Colours have made quite a name for themselves. Boasting a series of electrifying, anthemic singles and an extensive live pedigree, the High Wycombe-based outfit has recently unveiled a mellower side of the project, welcoming listeners with a heartfelt reflection on the busyness of modern life and the ever-lasting search for purpose. ‘Before the Sun’ approaches such a meaningful subject matter with care and nuance.
Taking a step back from fuzzy guitars and fast-paced motifs, Broken Colours find a perfect refuge in slow-moving ballad territories, an environment that allows the group’s melancholic, nostalgic lyricism to grow into a generational anthem. ‘Before the Sun’ is especially relatable: in today’s chaotic world, we are all fighting for something ‘more’… as if something was missing. Eventually, the British band takes a hopeful approach to it all, urging the listeners to be at peace with human fallibility.
As Broken Colours eloquently explain: “It is a simple notion and felt by all. Feeling overworked? Underappreciated? Does it feel like you’re taking one step forward and 30 back? This song is about balance, as we all burn ourselves out, more so in this new ever so ever-evolving world. This song is to remind you that you are only human, and there is hope still.”
