No matter what walk of life that you may travel, you cannot escape any struggles that may cross your path. Alwyn Morrison’s new single, “Everybody Bleeds,” delves into how status does not provide immunity from the inherent pressure of life. More so, when you boil it down, it’s about how we’re all human in the end. As much as “Everybody Bleeds” is emphatic in its sonic impact, Morrison offers an empathetic viewpoint.
While painting the picture of social status, Morrison colors celebrity and wealth as isolating ways of life. But, the chorus ties it all together with its title mantra of “everybody bleeds.” In that sense, it’s how no matter where we land on social hierarchy, we all have the same vulnerabilities. However, it also relates to the pressure to make something out of your life. By track’s end, it’s a universal message of the power of empathy.
“Everybody Bleeds” has a punchy and jangly flair, promptly announcing its presence with a percussive and twinkly acoustic-accented intro. In addition to being thunderous, it counters with dulcet notes of spritely keys that flutter about when a transition hits. All in all, “Everybody Bleeds” isn’t afraid to bombard you with a rough and tumble flow.
Setting aside the mystique of status, “Everybody Bleeds” wants to remind you that we’re all in the same boat in this life. While highlighting affluence and fame, this track establishes how neither can chase away personal tumult. Overall, Morrison crafts a heavy hitting, rock anthem that clears the air about what we all experience in life’s journey.
