“Tear Me Apart” by lotusbliss – A Song Feature

 

     The lead vocals in “Tear Me Apart” comfortably and seemingly effortlessly command the upper register. But beyond showcasing the vocal prowess of lotusbliss, the track serves as a platform for the exceptional musicianship and composition talent of the three brothers from Canterbury, UK.  
 
     The high-energy instrumental intro of “Tear Me Apart” bursts into a mini wall of sound, which leads to the entrance of the vocals passionately presenting the first verse (the lyrics are at the bottom of this post). The instrumental presence is reduced at the start of the verse, which isn’t unusual for a song. However, lotusbliss reverses the standard approach of revitalizing the energy upon reaching the chorus, thereby drawing listeners further into the song. Instead, the pre-chorus and chorus slow the tempo. This deserves a tip of the cap, since diverging from the norm requires artistic courageousness.
 
     Toward the end to the chorus, heartbeat drumming leads the way for an energy return into the second verse. The intensity remains dynamic throughout “Tear Me Apart.” Slightly beyond the 2:30 mark, the instrumental bridge is explosive. In comparison, the outro has a tranquility.  
 
     The three brothers who form lotusbliss are Seth, Josh, and Adam Gauto. “Tear Me Apart is the first single from an upcoming mini-album. They describe the song as being “about finding the resolve to not let the obstacles define you but instead be the making of you.” The band’s sound is a identified as a marriage of “ambient soundscapes, high-octane guitar, raw lyricism and infectious melodies, whilst also taking advantage of the vocal similarity of siblings to blend their voices in and out of unison and harmony.”

Lyrics of Tear Me Apart” by lotusbliss
There's no secrets tonight
Only hearts open wide
In the face of denial
Promise I’ll never tire, cos
 
I won't let this be what tears me apart
I won't let this be what…
 
Passion grows high and low
Build it slowly
Give it away, don't give it away now
Fire to tame
Brave or foolish, I never know
In each case
Give it away, don't give it away now
 
Tongues like knives sharpen up
What we had turned to rust
I will not fly away
Concrete set all around, cos
 
I won't let this be what tears me apart
I won't let this be what…
 
Passion grows high and low
Build it slowly
Give it away, don't give it away now
Fire to tame
Brave or foolish, I never know
In each case
Give it away, don't give it away now
 
I won't let this be what tears me apart
I won't let this be what tears me apart
I won't let this be what tears me apart
I won't let this be what…
 
Passion grows high and low
Build it slowly
Give it away, don't give it away now
Fire to tame
Brave or foolish, we never know
In each case
Give it away, don't give it away now
 
I won't let this be what tears me apart
I won't let this be what tears me apart
