Looking back on any time of life, it’s difficult not to only see the good sometimes. Especially when we fail to adequately document for ourselves the rises and falls, the triumphs alongside the trials by fire, our minds inevitably focus on the more positive aspects of the past. It’s that naïve feeling that makes us long for the past because, in hindsight, things appear much simpler than they really were at the time. This is exactly the kind of inner conflict explored with braveweather’s latest track “rosecolored”.
Hailing from Orlando, Florida, braveweather speaks on the issues of love and loss in a way that is relatable and real for anyone who has ever had to cut someone out of their own life. The band’s pop-punk track “rosecolored” delves into the internal struggle of leaving a past relationship behind when it is no longer beneficial to hang on. The song focuses, in particular, on the pain inherent in recognizing that, although you may have had good moments with this person, you cannot afford to let those moments cloud your judgment when it is time to let go.
The music video for “rosecolored” features the band members drinking and hanging out together on a snowy Colorado mountainside. As the video goes on and the band members drink more and more, their own visual perception, as well as the viewer’s, becomes distorted. It’s a fitting illustration of the song’s theme—the feeling of losing yourself by losing someone else, of having a distorted or skewed image of your life with them and what it was really like.
While “rosecolored” does explore letting go of the past, the track’s clear influence from pop-punk’s early 2000s golden years proves that some features of the past are here to stay. With a rising following on TikTok, coupled with pop-punk’s current resurgence in mainstream interest, braveweather is definitely one emerging band to keep your eyes (and ears) on.
