“Sun Glasses” is a profoundly personal rock song that makes an everyday object feel like a freighted emotional symbol. The song is the opening track on Thomas Comerford’s “Reliquary“ EP, and it immediately sets a contemplative mood, engaging you with a place where memory, loss, and meaning quietly intersect.
“Sun Glasses“ is really about absence, the kind that lingers long after someone leaves. Comerford’s song isn’t big on grand gestures or storylines, but it lives in one concrete object, and that decision lends it a sense of reality and proximity. The sunglasses are a way to look at it, to deal with it, and ultimately to confront grief.
The story develops in a way that feels personal, so anyone listening can connect their own experiences of loss to it without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. “Sun Glasses“ is a solid entry point into “Reliquary” because it seems purposeful and sincere, and it hints at a chamber of memory where things, times, and feelings are preserved not as exhibits in a museum but as living echoes of what was.
The song doesn’t attempt to banish grief, but it does its best to accept the sadness as something that rose in us, and that will alter how we see this world. Thomas Comerford demonstrates that sometimes the most compelling stories are not recounted so much by what’s expressed directly as by what’s simply held quietly.
