Speaking Is A Gun – “In Hanging Gardens”

Speaking Is A Gun’s latest “In Hanging Gardens”, is something special, and I was obsessed with form the first time I hit play. This track is different from their usual sound, with softer melodies that flow like water, but still plenty of emotional punch. You can check out their previous releases here.

The guitar work here is gorgeous, you can hear the warmth of that vintage Fender Deluxe Reverb mixing perfectly with the acoustic elements. There are these subtle breakbeats in the drumming that keep things interesting without taking away from the gentle vibe.

Sade’s background vocals on the track are incredible, especially during the powerful final section where everything comes together beautifully. The synth touches and string arrangements add layers that reveal themselves with each listen. The lyrics describe the Hanging Gardens in vivid detail but also delve into deeper themes of human progress and its price.

Trust me, it’s the kind of song that gets better with every play. Follow Speaking Is A Gun on social media for more updates on their music.
