The music that makes an impact and leaves a lasting mark on the soul is that which resonates deeply and transcends multiple genres in an effort to capture a story that moves the listener. That is the impact American band Big Sexy achieves with their latest single, “Here We Are.”
The story of the song follows two dairy farmers from Minnesota, who meet as teenagers and grow together through the years until they reunite in their golden years. The lyrics are powerful, evoking the human connection that can occur when two people least expect it. The story also speaks to growth, both as individuals and together, as they each take on their respective paths and, through the good times and the bad, find one another. The story is a journey through life, friendship, and something more as two people grow together.
The music itself was also moving. The vocals do a great job of blending the emotional progress of a singer/songwriter vibe with the familiar twang and heart of a country single. Yet the power of the song itself lies in the fusion of genres, bridging the gaps between the singer’s and songwriter’s styles of melodies, rock guitar riffs, and country bass and percussion that help drive home the more emotional aspects of the song. This balance of genres achieves something even more remarkable, though, which is to convey a story through the combination of powerful lyrics and heartfelt music. A song that speaks of love, friendship, and what it means to be human in this world, this song is the perfect song to lead into the fall season. If you haven’t yet, be sure to grab your copy today!
