AWOLNATION Share New Single ‘Panoramic View’

AWOLNATION share their brand new single Panoramic View, an infectious indie-pop/rock cut out now on Two Twenty Five Music. 

 

This gem finds lead singer Aaron Bruno at his most vulnerable - written on piano at the very start of the pandemic, it reflects the overwhelming fear and uncertainty the world was facing. Speaking to his own unborn children at the time, the track sends an uplifting message of embracing the scariness while harnessing the inner strength to believe that everything will ultimately be alright. This is such a heartfelt, honest song that I believe most of us can relate to, and is flawlessly delivered through Aaron Bruno's gorgeous, expressive vocals. Backing his lush vocals and dreamy harmonies, we have intricate rhythmic guitars seamlessly intertwined with emotive piano chords, steady drum patterns and delicate strings that together create an overall warm atmosphere perfect for a reflective weekend home alone. 

 

Accompanying the release, AWOLNATION share its official music video, directed by Darren Doane, which you can check out below!

Opening up about the heartfelt inspiration behind the track, Bruno shares:

I remember writing this one on a piano almost four years ago. It’s quite a sincere and profound song because I wrote it to my scared little kid that I didn't even have yet. I have twin boys now but we weren't pregnant yet when I wrote it. Basically, I’m saying I'll protect you, everything's gonna be okay. Back then, we all felt scared in some way, no matter who you were—whether you were fearful of being sick or of how governments were handling it, or how your friends were handling it, personal decisions… During that time, I was lyrically and emotionally conceptualizing the idea of writing songs to a child. And in some ways I was writing songs to comfort a younger version of myself. I guess the point is to remind us that we can always find an escape through music, even at the worst times.
