The song is a moving meditation on those unplanned life moments when you find yourself in a place you’ve always dreamed of being. The song’s lyrics encapsulate concepts of manifestation, visualisation, and the empowerment that comes from owning one’s fate.

The Violet Mine ‘Do No Harm’

The Violet Mine showcases their unique blend of rock and roll, alternative, and melodic indie-folk on their most recent compilation. White Night is an evocative tapestry that tackles themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and religion. It features elements of dream pop and new wave. “Do No Harm,” which was written during the COVID lockdown in New York, centres on the historical figure of the plague doctor. These incompetent medical professionals grifted the last of the sick individuals as they went from town to town. The villagers were warned that death was imminent by their appearance, which included a crude “respirator” made from a beak filled with plants to fight off bad air.

Sovereigns ‘Ghost’

The exciting new song “Ghost” from Sovereigns combines pop punk and indie rock elements. It is a perfect illustration of their approach, fusing upbeat songs with a steadily escalating guitar-led background. The track begins quietly with strummed guitars and muted drums, gradually building towards the distortion-heavy energy of its chorus with a sense of purpose and a melancholy undertone. This shows off the band’s youthful, relatable lyricism and yet, ability to craft mature musical ideas.
