Pop-Punk Group Floorbird Share New Single “Navy Blue”
Philadelphia-based Floorbird are giving listeners more insight into their upcoming EP, Fall Apart Anywhere, with their second single “Navy Blue.” With a familiar emo sound, the four piece band have delivered a single filled with catchy guitar and angsty vocals reminiscent of pop-punk favourites such as The Maine, The Dangerous Summer, and Like Pacific.
Frontman Eric Reavey says that their new single is about communication issues, and how for him “they tend to be the most intense when we feel hurt or unheard, which are vexingly the time when healthy communication is most important.” The lyrics tell the story of how broken communication can wreak havoc in your life, and compound into destructive issues.
The opening lines speak to the anger that can build when you’re feeling unheard, as Reavey sings “It’s a long drive / breathing in a little piece of fire now / and the fear pours out my lungs.” As the song carries on, the analogies of feeling stifled continue into the chorus, telling how a lack of openness can twist you into someone you’re not: “so when I tell you how the pieces fall apart / I cover up my mouth / cause I’m not quite myself.” As the bridge begins, Reavey asks: “so if crystals still can heal / tell me how, can you show me,” further explaining the inner turmoil of feeling unable to communicate organically while struggling with the pent up thoughts and feelings.
A follow up to the EP’s first single “I’m Not Nervous,” this latest release is said by the band to be one of the more upbeat songs from Fall Apart Anywhere, due September 25th. Have a listen to “Navy Blue” here:
