New York indie rockers Meyru have teasted their new album with their brand new single “Playing This Alone” a track that was written “about how relationships in your 20s can often feel like one big game.”
The song channels 90s power pop with some big swinging guitar hooks and choruses that feel like a throwback to the early days of Weezer and Fountains of Wayne. The huge guitars are a nice pairing with the vocal arrangements that take a page out of retro love songs while still packing plenty of a modern punch of their own.
About the track, the band says:
Playing This Alone was written about how relationships in your 20s can often feel like one big game. Sometimes it feels like we’re all just bending and changing for someone we want or wasting each others time just for fun. Hate that, but we all do it too. It’s heavy hitting and written in a 6-8 time signature which gives it a real 50s feel. Something we’ve done a few times on this album. My favorite line has always been ‘Do you still feel young? Or am I playing this game alone?’ – basically wondering if we’re all still fooling around or if I’m still the only one refusing the grow up
