At a time when the world seems busier than ever, with noise and spectacle around every corner, Raised By Rage is providing a brief respite in the form of her new single, “Remind Me Why,” a personal and visceral track, which pulls you in. A slow-burning alt-rock ballad, the song steps back from the squall of heavy riffs, uncontrolled angst, and tonight’s panic attack to look at a much more intimate home truth, the quest for meaning, personal connection, and healing.
Seeded in slow rock but flowering with heartfelt honesty, “Remind Me Why” is a quiet confession canvassed in layers of reverb and emotion. It’s the type of song that doesn’t ask to be heard as much as it invites you to sit with it, to be present with every word and note. This is a page from a lyrical journal, a carving from an era when everything seemed lost, but music somehow saw the artist through. This song has the raw emotion of someone who believes what they sing. The delivery has a lived-in warmth, a mix of irony and hope, making it a conversation with the self.
Written by Raised By Rage, “Remind Me Why” is about that fragile moment of teetering on the edge and then being reminded by love, purpose, promise, and why we continue. That vow, written in a letter to become the best singer she could, forms the quiet, throbbing pulse of the song. And you feel it. You can anticipate an offering that leans into openness. There’s just pure, honest storytelling through music. That’s the charm and the magic.
In “Remind Me Why,” Raised By Rage sings not only about loss and re-finding purpose but also, through it and note by note, they do. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most potent music speaks softly, directly to the heart. It’s a keepsake for anyone needing a reason to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
