Brooklyn Doran sure did pick a perfect title for “Heavy Hurt.” The song is written about being on a long tour where the parallel of the tour van breaking down and the breakdown of a relation coincided in a way that maybe makes everything feel like it could be closing in. The expansive, distorted melodic sparkle of the song with Doran’s vulnerable vocal delivery and steady, strong rhythms open up feelings that could sink your spirit if they were locked up inside your heart being denied their truth airing out. And throughout the song we get hints of how it seems obvious that the dissolution of the relationship was there all along with two people wanting different things out of their lives in a way that could never be mutually compatible and the song doesn’t try to cast anyone as a villain. It just honors the hurt on both sides and the honest acceptance of that hurt before healing and moving forward can begin.
