Picture this: you're in your sophomore year of high school, and everything is confusing and sad for no reason. This song would be playing in the background. As soon as it started, I was fifteen all over again. The slow, melodic strum of an acoustic guitar accompanied by a voice that made me feel euphoric, honestly. Phoric definitely chose the right name to back up his sound. A calm instrumental with hard hitting lyrics. The single perfectly encapsulates that feeling of not knowing if the people you like actually like you back.
I was hooked from the first verse: "I know we can′t get there in one day, but I'll just take one step/Can′t sit still anymore, I guess I'll take what I can get." With just that, I knew this was going to be a song I'd enjoy. The lyrics are reminiscent of Lord Huron's songs in the way you feel quickly connected to them. It's ironic that the song's message is how hollow life can be without someone to share it with. It could be that lots of people are all scared of the same thing, and expressing it through music makes it a little less scary. "Remind me of parts of myself I haven't seen in so long/Bring me back down to earth when everyone gets on my nerves." As the song progresses, the longing for someone becomes stronger, but with no one around, he continues to wait.
Phoric is an independent artist from Miami, Florida. There is something about an artist continuing to produce without the backing of a large label that makes the music more enjoyable. He describes his sound as blending cinematic production, heartfelt lyrics, and emotion. He is dedicated to crafting music that reflects universal themes of personal growth and finding beauty in the struggle of living. Phoric hopes that his music will be a soundtrack to all the highs and lows of life. His name--short for euphoric--brings his message full circle.
