4 min read
Sometimes life can hit you soo hard that you don’t even find any reason to keep going. You get this feeling that everything you gonna do is gonna be a disappointment and therefore you don’t wanna even try at all and how the society turn people around to be what they ain’t. This state of feeling is what Ivan Beecroft has crafted into his single, “Carousel.” A song that is intriguing and beautiful with a unique blend of rock and alternative rock music, you only get this distinctive feel from ivan as that is his signature fusion. As a Melbourne-born Australian rock musician, Beecroft has really made waves and have created a niche for himself in the industry with his unique sound and raw intensity. A sound that is really captivating and has the power to strike your souls and pierce it, resonating with everyone that hears his song. So that alone should tell you, we’re in for a feast, therefore grab your seatbelt for this rollercoaster ride.
Now this song “Carousel” is special and goes on to demonstrate Beecroft’s signature style. The way he infuses raw and strong vocals with intense beats captures your attention just from the moment you hit that play button, leaving you no choice but to enjoy the whole song. Then the way he crafts his lyrics is something out of this world. When you listen to his lyrics, it’s like they paint a clear image of what he’s trying to tell you through his crafts. They are vivid and filled emotions, which transport listeners into an atmosphere of introspection and intensity, wow. What I love about Beecroft is his ability capture the essence of human emotions, and make them float as he adventures through the struggles and disappointment humans go through. One unique thing about this track is how those beats and drums just complements the song. The moment you hit that play button, you realize the intensity and curiosity that comes with the beats, it’s like it throws you into an atmosphere where you feel disappointed of letting go off something or someone and now you’re stalking to see how they doing. Like you watching everything they do, and you wish you could be part of them now. This kinda feeling is what the song puts you in and it’s what the lyrics lay emphasis on.
Yes sometimes life can be hard and therefore you run away and turn your back on people, just because you were down and lost faith, now you’re filled with pain and anguish, and seeking how it could have been different if you had little faith and kept going and not just give up. The opening lines, “slowly dancing into your window, coming to the tiptoe tyranny,” immediately set a mysterious and introspective tone. The reference to tiptoe tyranny hints at a sense of uneasiness and constraint, putting the listener into an emotional rollercoaster and a journey of such throughout. Then as the song goes on you hear lines like “you tell me things that you’re not, it’s not too late to stop this living hell”, which hints at a sense of how one struggles to be truthful to themselves and the difficulty in identifying your true self, while also giving you hope that one day you will be redeemed. I love how Beecroft lay emphasis on the complex nature of the human psyche and how the society also plays it roll into pressuring people to be what they ain’t. Then you hear the refrain “there’s nothing left me off this carousel”, laying emphasis on the cycle one’s life is going through with struggles and uncertainties, bitterness, disappointment and how you wish you could change things and stand up to a tyranny. This is how you create music that resonates with the listener, the song just lets you reflect on your own experiences of inner disturbances and those rhetoric questions you ask yourself. Wow, such a beauty of a track and trust me, the beats are wholesome and keeps you entertained throughout, and that’s why you should give it a listen.
Well with this song Carousel, I say Ivan Beecroft has really pushed musical boundaries and has redefined the rock music scenes. With deep lyrics, intense beats and master delivery, I say this is a must-listen song that deserves your attention. So go ahead and give this song a good listen and have a wonderful week. ENJOY!!
