(Nashville, TN):  Sleep Nation’s latest release, “Red Guitar” revives the classic rock sound for a new anthem to jam to. You can listen to the single and watch the music video now.

“Red Guitar” tells a story many listeners might know all too well: a relationship as rocky as a sea in a thunderstorm. While addressing the past, they talk about the grudges they can’t seem to let go of and the regrets they wish they could get rid of. It’s a song about turmoil in every way.

The lyrics give the most clarity to the actual situation with lines such as, “With every breath, you took/Every guy who looked upon the beauty that you made/It was your body that you gave/Your siren song was a game that we all played.” This is an explicit example of the turmoil in the relationship being discussed in the song. It is clear that the other partner in this relationship had broken their commitment, and Merritt uses this betrayal in his lyrics. It creates an emotional rollercoaster for the listener as they slowly learn bits and pieces of the story.
