Votchi has much history in music-making. Anyone interested in rock music needs to check out their new single Out of Love. It doesn’t sound as loving as the title suggests, but it’s way more all-encompassing than what you contemplated.
The gritty electric guitar riffs and grunge vibes add more intention to the smooth deep vocals of the lead vocalist Alex McBeat. Votchi explores the profundity well with the bass, and the drums going hard in the background, but never for once hindering the heavy vocals. It’s a perfect balance of heavy metal.
And what’s more, the lyrics are profound.
Out of Love is an expository musical piece relating to power dynamics, poverty, ambition, dreams, despair, struggles and so much more. The lyrics emphasize these aspects all too well with syntactical parallelism as in the case of the chorus where Let makes a constant entry with: “Let ’em blow, let ’em blow/ Let ’em knock ’em all down leave ‘em shadows on walls/ Let ’em shread’n’crush to Man’s smolderin’ bums/ Let ’em go kaboom and ’em blow kaboom and bye all!” The parallelism reflects the surrender to reality and let nature take its course.
Another vital parallelism that the song directly connects to is the relation to Man rising from mud and Man conquering blood, which ironically contrasts to the previous parallelism where he is telling man to be the change, as man has been the change. From another perspective, this juxtaposition of letting go of the world’s weight could lead to looking within. And when done out of love, perhaps the self-reflection could spread outwards, as the vocalist sings.
