Bruise

Brandon and Savannah's single "bruise" captures attention with a guitar riff and drums reminiscent of the 2000s. The relatable lyrics about the struggles of dating and the "situationship" status will resonate with Gen Z listeners. "We wrote ‘Bruise’ about giving too much to someone who isn’t reciprocating. There’s a desperation you start to feel when you’re trying and longing for someone to want you the same as you do them. After some time you begin acquiring internal scars and bruises. We were both experiencing this feeling at the same time and you can almost hear that in our performances. We brought this song on tour with us and lived with it for months making sure it was what it needed to be. We tried adding and then we tried simplifying, slowing it down, and speeding it up and nothing felt better than how it was from the beginning. With our music, we are constantly chasing a feeling and that was something we re-learned in the process of making this new project. Sometimes it is what it is and that’s what makes it what it’s supposed to be." — via Ones to Watch Read more on Last.fm.
