After losing someone you love, you find comfort in past memories where everything felt so warm and sweet. Except now those memories come with a touch of pain as you remember you can’t travel back in time to those moments. “Bittersweet” by artist Tally Spear is an emotional rock ballad that explores the nature of looking back at the past and feeling conflicted. Spear tackles the complexity of feeling sentimental for having so many wonderful memories that now carry a different kind of weight. Throughout “Bittersweet” Talky Spear delivers a very memorable performance as the track helps listeners find some sort of peace.
What initially stands out is the imagery used in “Bittersweet,” from the moment the song starts, we begin to see the warmth of the past turning cold. What’s interesting is even as the song transports listeners to a place of authentic pain, Tally Spear still provides listeners with some light at the end of the tunnel. It’s a song that encourages hope during a time of darkness. As far as instrumentals go, they work incredibly well with Spear’s vocal performance. Spear has the voice of someone who was made to sing rock music, that’s proven throughout the song. She’s able to sustain the emotional intensity needed for a song of this topic, and it’s a performance that makes you crave a live performance of “Bittersweet.”
