Maybe titling he song “Rainbows” The Wheel Workers are giving away that the tender sentiments of the love song is one also about LGBTQ+ identity and self-acceptance. It is also a completely apt name for the song. Its gentle melodies in a sort of psychedelic pop mode are also reminiscent of the exquisite melodies of early 80s Ultravox and the earnestness of The Alarm’s more anthemic songs. The lead guitar melody paired with the vocal harmonies feels like a collective collective uplift like the band has written a song that goes beyond expressing deep affection and a sense of liberation and resistance to oppression for one person but a statement for everyone that has felt the boot of a conservative cultural orientation that denies many people their basic humanity and the ability to be who they are without judgment.
