Establishing the mood with a cohesive tapestry of sound, featuring glistening guitar, brooding bassline and textured drums, Kancheong22 opens please don’t say we’re through with atmospheric vocals and the lyrics, “Thought that you’d always be here with me, I thought that you would always be true, I took it for granted that you would be beside me, but I was wrong…”
The opus expands with a high emotional quotient into a duet featuring Pansillix as we experience a relatable narrative of “how memories replay in our minds when we reach the end of an era in life.” We appreciate the introspective depth and cinematic allure that comes to life with the track.
There is no doubt that please don’t say we’re through would be perfect for a number of sync placements, notably a film that reflects the themes of the prose – perhaps a sequel or remake to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Speaking on the release, Kancheong22 confesses, “While the story comes from a personal place, the intention is for listeners to recognise their own moments of transition – those quiet endings that slowly turn into nostalgia.”
We learn that Kancheong22 is an independent singer-songwriter crafting guitar-driven indie pop and soft rock that centres on emotion, storytelling and honest reflection. His artistry seamlessly fuses personal lyrics that explore relationships, memories, and how we all try to understand our own feelings.
please don’t say we’re through is designed to experiment with a loopable song structure where the verse and chorus flow seamlessly into one another. We love this innovative approach to song creation and the stripped-back moments with pure vocals and strings for the finale of the track.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added please don’t say we’re through to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Kancheong22, including Rose-Tinted, and We Welcome You.
