PHWOAR - Waiting for the Sun [Music Review]

January 22, 2025 Travis Erwin

Turmoil and strife seem to be the new normal in this increasingly divisive world. Music is a salve for many of us and this track fits the current mood of so many quite well. I'll turn it over to the band PHWOAR and let them explain where their new single , 'Waiting for the Sun,' comes from. "This is a song about resilience. It explores hope as a form of rebellion and learning to find strength in times of weakness. In the UK, January 20 (this song's release date) is known as Blue Monday, which is supposedly the most depressing day of the year (coincidentally in 2025, it is also the day of the US presidential inauguration). Blue Monday was concocted to sell you stuff, using people's mental health as an excuse to do so. This song is a reminder that mental health is not something to be made light of in order to sell holidays and stuff. It's also a reminder to ourselves and anybody going through difficult times that the lowest ebb is never a constant. There's always light after the darkness. Sometimes we're just forced into waiting for the sun. x" This song and its intent should resonate for many as we delve into an unpredictable era.
