Some songs merely entertain, and then there are songs that carry you on a journey through time and emotion. Bre Kennedy’s latest track, Keep Going Back, is unequivocally the latter.
Keep Going Back is a poignant and anthemic piece that delves deep into the realms of nostalgia and grief. For Kennedy, it’s a personal journey back to her grandmother’s garden, a place of solace where she used to sit with her sister, who tragically passed away a decade ago. The song is about how the faintest scent, the most innocuous photograph, or a familiar melody can trigger a tidal wave of longing and sorrow.
Kennedy’s vocals, hushed yet melodic, are the heart and soul of the track. Her voice, imbued with raw emotion, weaves a relatable narrative. The instrumentals are beautifully arranged, providing a harmonious backdrop that complements Kennedy’s vocals without overshadowing them. The result is a soundscape that’s as evocative as it is enchanting.
The chorus is a standout, wonderfully catchy yet filled with a sense of longing. It’s the kind of chorus that lingers and echoes in your mind and incessantly resonates on a profound level.
Keep Going Back is a journey through the past, a dive into the depths of grief that reminds us that music, at its best, is a form of catharsis, a means of expressing the inexpressible.
