Stick To Your Guns - Amber (Track of the Day, July 5th)

​We were hit by a hint of nostalgia today, as today’s Track of the Day is actually seven years old and still just as relevant both music and content wise. Back in 2010, Stick To Your Guns have released their third studio album called “The Hope Division”. One of the tracks this record contains is “Amber” which is also to this day the most popular track from that album.

With heartbreaking yet beautiful lyrics, the song talks about the struggles of the 14 year-old Amber and while there’s usually the line “And as she braves the storms / All alone”, there’s a small yet significant change towards the end of the song to “But braves her storm / You are not alone”, reminding all of us that no matter what we are going through, we are not the only ones and there is always somebody else to understand, comfort and maybe even help you through. Lyrics aside, the track is still an awesome song full of energy that shines during every live set.

Speaking of which, the chances for you to catch Stick To Your Guns live on tour are actually not too bad as they are playing Vans Warped Tour all summer and will also be returning to Europe and the UK this fall for a headline tour, supported by bands such as Being As An Ocean.

So if you are planning to see them, here’s to some pre-show hype and if you haven’t made any plans yet, feel free to give Stick To Your Guns a chance anyway.
