“Where words fail, RISE’s recent single Without You speaks volumes, one tear after another”
“Without You” is taken from the latest EP by RISE called “Memories and Possibilities”. The track is marked by a beautiful juxtaposition of stellar guitar work and pulsating synths. The song channels the grief that the band felt after the loss of one of their founding members, Steve Kinley. The commanding vocals are so well-suited to carry the undercurrent of loss through the poignant melodies of the song. The lyrics are a heart-to-heart affair, stemming from a place of genuine emotion and striking the likewise chord.
