In Nicholas Walmer’s newest single ‘Caroline’ listeners are taken on a gripping ride through the fight of unrequited love. The Fort Wayne artist right from the word also spills out his desire for a love which always seems out of reach and his twangy guitar work mirrors the emotional turbulence as the track moves forward.The emotional intensity increases as Walmer's vocals fly high over a rising hail of roaring guitars and thunderous rhythms. It is a sonic capture of internal struggle between desire and resignation, a war fought in the heart and mind.However, those moments do exist – the playful backing keys and conversational verses as a way to see what’s underneath the sonic tempest. But what really makes 'Caroline' so great is this duality, this push and pull between hope and heartache, making this a great listen to. A track that speaks to how even in the bleakest times, there is beauty in the human experience, simply for the vulnerability.
