Up-and-coming metal band Wake of Dawn are off to a flying start. The new song Sad Nostalgia is already the fourth song the band has released this year. In Sad Nostalgia, the band discusses the sadness that can come with nostalgia, also known as melancholy.
The song takes you into a nostalgic haze. You reflect on the things you have achieved and your dreams of the past. Then it gets darker. You realize that those dreams of the past will never really come true, a grim atmosphere sets in, and you can’t do anything anymore. You’re tied up. But then you wake up in a noisy train and realize that you were stuck in a dream.
“The feeling of melancholy and nostalgia is very important to me in conveying emotion and music. Music is like emotion to me.” Gene ten Braak (lead vocals)
