Party Nails
Party Nails is a versatile artist with a knack for crafting catchy tunes. Her latest release, ‘Same Old Song’, is an indie-rock hymn that feels like a nostalgic road trip. With a carefree attitude and a hint of nostalgia, Party Nails seems to have left her worries behind and embraced a more joyful outlook. It’s like she’s invited “fun” to ride shotgun while her blues take a backseat with some snacks.
As soon as it begins, ‘Same Old Song‘ hooks you up with a honey-sweet voice along with its irresistible melodies, and lush and rich guitars. The production is full of textures and details, creating a lo-fi dreamy soundscape that fits just right with Party Nails’ sincere lyrics. In terms of music, Anna Crane’s drumming adds an element of dynamism and energy to the song. The result is a captivating contrast between the reflective lyrics and fast-paced beats that keeps you hooked from the start to the finish.
The song talks about introspection and self-examination. According to the artist herself, the idea came from peering at trees around herself, trying to catch a glimpse of her younger self. Listening to its lyrics feels like opening a portal that leads to the emotions of the past. We are driving into the woods, noticing the natural beauty around us when the view takes us back to what life used to be. It might feel nostalgic to reflect on our younger selves and the memories that something like a natural space can trigger on us. However, the reach of the song does not only delve into the past, but also unfolds to what is yet to come.
“You keep me from moving on
You’re keeping me singing my
Same old song”
Party Nails reflects on the impact our past keeps having on us, on the decisions we take every day and especially the limitations it can pose to our future when we carry unresolved feelings with us.
The inspiration behind the song came to the artist’s mind when she was going through a difficult time. “This was a period of lockdown where my psyche was interacting with my idea of ‘home’ a lot.” After some time of reflection, Party Nails understood that it was all about making amends with her younger self.
‘Same Old Song’ stands out as one of Party Nails’ best achievements. The single feels like a heartfelt diary entry set in a dreamy forest with indie rock soundscapes. It exemplifies her potential for making not only beautiful music but also songs that touch the heart deeply. Party Nails’ genuine and heartfelt execution will certainly go down well with fans of thoughtful pop and alternative rock.
