Written by Staff on 9 August 2024
Do you ever find yourself drifting through life, feeling like there’s something more just out of reach? That’s the kind of existential question “Awake” by SAVARRE poses to its listeners. This 3-minute and 22-second track is more than just music—it’s a call to consciousness, a powerful anthem urging us to open our eyes and truly live.
SAVARRE, led by the multifaceted Shannon Denise Evans, has carved a niche in the spectra rock genre, blending edgy rock vibes with rich storytelling. Evans, a storyteller at heart, brings every aspect of her creative prowess into this song, making “Awake” a visceral experience from start to finish.
The lyrics of “Awake” are a poetic exploration of self-awareness and the courage it takes to confront our inner and outer realities. Evans sings with a raw intensity that draws you in, asking if you believe in a better place with “streets of gold and noble Kings.” It’s a metaphor for the idealistic world we often chase, only to find ourselves lost in “trails of bent and broken things.“
The journey to self-discovery is seldom straightforward, and “Awake” encapsulates this beautifully. It navigates the rugged terrain of personal growth and the often harsh truths we must face along the way. “Awake” is also about the small, everyday awakenings that shape us. The chorus, with its haunting repetition of “You’re a dead man walking into the fire, surrender what you can’t take,” is a stark reminder that staying asleep—ignoring the uncomfortable truths—is not an option if we want to live authentically.
The intense, pulsing rhythms and expansive melodies create a soundscape that feels both urgent and expansive. It’s like the musical equivalent of a wake-up call, jolting you out of complacency and into a state of heightened awareness. Evans’ vocal delivery in “Awake” is nothing short of mesmerizing. Her voice, described as big, bold, and expansive, carries the weight of the song’s message with an uncontainable force. She sings, “Tell me are you awake? While all the world is sleeping, are you brave enough to shake—a dreamer while they’re dreaming?” These lines challenge us to not only wake ourselves but also to be catalysts for change in others’ lives.
Produced by Alex Venguer, Shannon Denise Evans, and Dylan Glatthorn, “Awake” is a testament to the power of collaboration. The production quality is top-notch, allowing each element of the song to shine. The instrumentation is layered and textured, creating a rich backdrop for Evans’ impassioned vocals. The song’s arrangement is meticulously crafted, balancing the tension between edgy rock and the melodic storytelling that SAVARRE is known for. The result is a track that feels both timeless and urgent, a perfect encapsulation of the spectra rock genre.
So, are you ready to wake up? Are you prepared to face the fire and come out the other side more alive than ever? “Awake” by SAVARRE is an anthem for anyone ready to embrace their true self and live with eyes wide open. Dive in, and let the awakening begin.
