Kids In Glass Houses’ Vulnerable marks a striking return for the Welsh quintet after an eleven-year hiatus.
This pop-rock anthem delves into the complexities of modern love, blending nostalgia with fresh perspectives.
The song’s retro-tinged sound harks back to ’80s pop-rock yet feels distinctly current.
Vibrant synths and driving basslines create an uplifting backdrop for Aled’s smooth vocals.
His delivery conveys both vulnerability and strength, mirroring the song’s emotional core.
Lyrically, “Vulnerable” explores love’s dual nature as both exhilarating and terrifying.
Aled’s words paint vivid snapshots of a relationship’s evolution, from the mundane Sundays transformed by a lover’s presence to the yellow dress that cut through a crowded room.
These intimate details give the song a cinematic quality.
The track serves as a commentary on contemporary dating culture.
It touches on the disposable nature of relationships in the age of endless options and social media comparisons.
This adds depth to what could have been a straightforward love song.
“Vulnerable” sits within the larger context of Kids In Glass Houses‘ upcoming album “Pink Flamingo.”
The band describes this project as a new beginning rather than a mere continuation.
“It feels like a new start, rather than us just churning out a fifth album,” says Aled. “As much as people ask for another ‘Smart Casual’, we couldn’t write it and I don’t think they’d really want it anyway.”
They’ve managed to capture the excitement of their early work while pushing their sound in fresh directions.
For long-time fans, “Vulnerable” offers a satisfying blend of familiar elements and artistic growth.
For new listeners, it’s an infectious introduction to a band unafraid to examine the messier aspects of human connection through catchy melodies and introspective lyrics.

Kids In Glass Houses Vulnerable Lyrics
Are we alone? Are we afraid? Climbing the walls
Out of hand. Out of touch. Out of nowhere
I’m aware I could be better for you
Is it too late to go back?
I remember everything was mundane
Then your light lit up the boredom of Sundays
I remember when I first saw you
You know you make me vulnerable
Cause you’re the only one I want
You make it unconditional
And you’re the only one I want, oh
You’ve got me going crazy, alright
You’ve got me going crazy, tonight
I remember when you walked my way
You win some, you lose some, you stay
Am I too much? Am I enough? Trying on flaws
Out of sight. Out of mind. Out of habit
I’m aware everything starts to bore you
Is it too late to go back?
I remember when you cut through the room
In a yellow dress, sunshine in costume
I remember when I first saw you
You know you make me vulnerable
Cause you’re the only one I want
You make it unconditional
And you’re the only one I want, oh
You’ve got me going crazy, alright
You’ve got me going crazy, tonight
I remember when you walked my way
I win some, I lose some, I stay
You hope this time things are gonna be different
I know each time you call, that I wanna be present
You know you make me vulnerable
Cause you’re the only one I want
You make it unconditional
And you’re the only one I want
And You’ve got me going crazy, alright
You’ve got me going crazy, tonight
I remember when you walked my way
We win some, we lost some, we stay
Is it too late to go back?
Is it too late to go back
