As we grow up our parents are the only people who want to see us grow into the amazing person they know we can be. When we are younger there are so many fights and arguments that take place. We sit there and listen to the stern life lessons they give us wishing and wondering when they will be done so we can go about our day. There are hundreds of thoughts that go through our minds as to why we are getting yelled at or talked down to. But at the end of every conversation, they leave us with the message of “one day you’ll understand” or “one day you are going to thank me for this conversation.” Sure, we nod our heads as if we were even listening to anything they were saying but as we get older, we reminisce on those conversations and truly thank them for those times. Bardz new single “hold me close” delivers these same messages of growing up with a parental figure who in the end just knew one day we would understand and be eternally grateful.
“hold me close” is a unique song as it tells a beautiful story about times we have all gone through as children. While listening to the song I immediately related to it on so many levels. From growing up as a child to hearing these stern lectures to now being an adult and being so grateful, I was lucky enough to have parents who shaped me for life and all the lessons that it comes with. This track is extremely vulnerable with lyrics like “I’ve got moments with my father / Buried six feet down” and “Well, now that I’m the wiser, I see just what he means.” While the lyrics are so touching, his vocals really make you feel how intense this track is. He sings with a great amount of passion and sorrow throughout the entire track. My absolute favorite part was the instrumentals as they were gentle with a steady guitar and fast paced drums here and there.
Bardz is an all-around talented artist with backgrounds in numerous instruments from the drums to the keyboard right down to creating awesome tracks. He is a great singer and songwriter creating and releasing music since 2017 with his first single “Kelona.” In everything he puts out into the music industry he does so with deep meaning and amazing sounds for his listeners to relate to. His brand-new release “hold me close” came out May 2, 2025, and is just a teaser for his upcoming EP. “the only way out is through” is set to release May 30, 2025, with six tracks that I am sure are just as emotion filled with electric sounds. Be sure to follow his socials below and stay tuned for his next release.
