In 2020, many teenagers found themselves confined to their homes as the world around them underwent dramatic changes. This time inspired countless writers to share their stories of loss, longing, and self-reflection, much like raindrops tapping against a bedroom window.
St. Tamarin released their new single, "Home We Stay," which captures a tale of heartbreak. The song was created in a home studio in Düsseldorf during the height of the COVID lockdown. It feels more like a personal diary entry than a polished product, and soft, yet filled with a sense of hope. From the very first chord, you can hear the influences of legendary guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, woven into a unique sound that's unmistakably St. Tamarin. The guitar has a warm, rich tone, as if it has weathered many storms but emerged strong and unbroken. The lyrics reflect the challenging times in which they were written, suggesting that adversity can make even the strongest people stronger. They convey the idea that staying put during tough moments is a brave and challenging choice.
The production of the song is straightforward, allowing the emotional guitar melodies and heartfelt singing to shine. Each note feels carefully chosen, as if you can almost hear the quiet energy of the home studio, filled with a mix of grief and creativity. Listening to "Home We Stay," you can sense how St. Tamarin turned their doubts into a memorable anthem.
