The Word66 – Faith Is The Key (2024)
In today’s uncertain, unstable, almost waiting on the brink of an explosion reality, it is rather easy to lose your way; to fall aside and say “Y’know what, I don’t care. It can’t get worse so why should I even bother… *insert some profanities here*. It’s easy to become lost and sometimes reach a point where you cannot find your way back. Then again, this is not a new behaviour, people have been floundering since the dawn of time. After veteran guitarist Steve Scott began wandering in a land of confusion, he found his way back to his music journey and through The Word66 he wants to bring comfort, acceptance, empowerment and happiness to people who might be in the same predicament.
Originally formed in 2018, The Word66 is a “Christian rock band on a mission to spread the word with rocking melodies”. Now don’t imagine they’re a gospel choir preaching, this trio’s music spans several genres dipping into metal, hard rock, and even indie-rock sounds. Following the alternative rock ballad, ‘How Will I Know’, the new track ‘Faith Is The Key’ is a heavy blast of vintage rock.
A sophisticated production, ‘Faith Is The Key’ is a soothing sonic river of bold drums, searing guitars, and powerful bass lines (courtesy of renowned guitarist Danny Miranda). Immersing you in the river, ‘Faith Is The Key’ is more than a song but rather a listening experience. Dipping your toes into the warm water, bright lights seep into your skin and leave a glistening glow as it moves through your body.
Penned as a tale about an individual “not caring about the outcome of his actions”, the content bodes a sense of anger, frustration and rage; however, the movement of the water washes away aggression, finds vulnerability and helps him to the light at the end of the tunnel. Filled with warmth, brightness and joy, Scott’s rich vocals twirl about the lad giving him a massive hug helping him realise at least one other person understands.
In addition to the single, The Word66 released an official music video for ‘Faith Is The Key’. You can view the video below or via The Word66’s YouTube channel.
