‘(Welcome To The Night Of) Broken Promises’ is the latest release of 2023 by I Panic. It is one infectious soundtrack with a twist of alternative rock along with 1980s energy, bearing semblance to Oasis and David Bowie.
In the narrative, two ex-lovers who had vowed never to see each other again end up back together. You know how this story ends, right? A traditional adventure tale told with optimism and happy choruses to mask the sadness. But everything works out in the end because I Panic wants to believe again at the story’s conclusion. Maybe you believe in love; maybe you believe in second chances; who knows? But if there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that this song captures a universal narrative in a virtually forgotten style that will enthrall you from the get-go. In ‘(Welcome To The Night Of) Broken Promises’, the artist demonstrates that they place equal value on the lyrics and melody of a song. The songwriter says, “This song portrays the relatable scenario of two individuals meeting again after one of them left the relationship, and a night full of broken promises follows, doing things you swore yourself you would never do again.”
What is fascinating about this song is not its dramatic melody or gloomy lyrics, but rather how the music’s general gloominess portrays the tale of that night of unfulfilled promises so naturally and without effort. The daring arrangement throws you into a sonic environment as you sink further and deeper into the thumping beat.
