Jack Tracy – Tired of Being Lonely (2022)
Jack Tracy took us back in time while reminiscing about a relationship held together by sexual chemistry in ‘Close’. He is now heading into moody club tones with ‘Tired of Being Lonely’, with a departure from his usual retro sound. As he fills the soundscape with the pulsing lights of a club, the lyrics take a deep dive into the seemingly endless well of loneliness and insecurity that rests inside.
As he delves into these deep waters, he considers how we look for connections on the dancefloor, but find that the satisfaction is only fleeting. An imploring single that yearns for deeper emotional connections, it offers a second insight into his upcoming third album Gold. The brooding nature of the single is brought to visual glory through the vibrant official music video.
The brooding vibe of ‘Tired of Being Lonely’ hits from the first note that brings a twilight feeling to the single. This shimmers into a dance movement that fills you with the energy of hitting the dancefloor. A pulse of bright lights washes over your head, while the beats grab your muscles and make them move. While there is a rather undeniable dance vibe to the music, this is tempered by the brooding flow of the lower levels. It is an interesting melody that has you dancing to its rhythm, but is packed with a feeling of dissatisfaction over everything. The loneliness of the single has been infused into each note, causing a type of disconnect between the usual freedom that comes from dancing and what you feel as you listen. As the single comes to a close, the EDM sparks of the melody seem to become distant, furthering the feeling of being on the dancefloor, but not really feeling it.
Tracy’s vocals pick up the strange vibe of the music and take it to another level by giving it some direction. His voice has an addictive draw to it like someone grabbing your hand and pulling you into a dance. While he hooks you to his performance, there is an intimate confessional edge to his delivery. As he hits you with some serious questions that make you really think about the lyrics, he fills you with the sense that you are not the only one feeling as you do. His vocals have a moody touch that is wonderfully contrasted by an arrangement that is pure dance. The loneliness and insecurity that many people feel are wonderfully addressed through the verses, before the chorus bursts with the understanding that a deeper emotional connection is possible.
Packed with dance energy that is tempered by a brooding touch, ‘Tired of Being Lonely’ by Jack Tracy delves into loneliness and insecurity while searching for a deeper emotional connection. Both the melody and vocals have a foundation of dance energy that makes you want to move, only to be held apart from the freedom of movement by the depths of emotion. It is a stunning look at wanting more and finding that your old coping mechanisms no longer work.
