The Bedside Morale / "Yours Sincerely"

 



The Skinny Review:
"Yours Sincerely" is the new single from Bristol indie rock band The Bedside Morale. The song's compelling melodies and emotional lyrics turn sorrow into something beautiful. Each note balances darkness and light, creating a sense of hope and reflection.

In Their Own Words:
 "Lyrically Yours Sincerely was a really tough song to write. Kynan had come in with the song framework and that beautiful bass line. It felt sad and quiet to me, dejected I guess, and I knew what I wanted to write about, I just had no idea how to do it. I think like a lot of people I dealt with the trauma I had faced by detaching myself from it. I stood in the rafters so to speak. I could say the words and tell people what happened but in some way I was pretending that wasn't me. But that's not what felt right for this song. I wanted the song to be in conversation with that person, a chance, albeit not face to face, to say all the things I never knew enough to. So I had to force myself to really feel it. I tried not to shy away from putting it to paper, or wrap it up in clever wordplay, which was hard because it meant accepting the reality of it and how little control I had. There are still some lines in this song that, if I spend too long focussing on, utterly break me. So that's Yours Sincerely. A song about trying to love, in spite of all the turmoil."
