If previous single, “Charlatan of Love” was a singer-songwriter/alt-country song that ran on a healthy dose of deep-seated emotion and no small amount of darker undertones, “Bury Me Deep” seems to delve even deeper into this raw and honest realm.
Essentially, a relatively understated, piano-led ballad, with just a gentle beat and the slow, distant growth of additional sonics to fill out the sound, this is music from the heart, music concerned with encapsulating feelings rather than showing off musical prowess, and ironically, in doing so, it serves the latter ideal perfectly.
It’s a song that sits emeshed in the half-light between weariness and resilience, barebones Americana shaded with darker, edgier hues, and powered, as always, by Rubanq’s storyteller’s honesty and narrative style, less a performance, more a confession or perhaps even an exorcism.
The track literally aches, wandering through cinematic scenes of fading light, empty roads and the weight of quiet struggles—yet it never gives in to the despair that hangs over it. Instead, it acknowledges the darkness while keeping one eye fixed on redemption or, at the very least, forgiveness. Acoustic, visceral feelings underpin brooding atmospherics and unflinching lyricism, and that is what gives the song real gravitas, real weight, makes it really… well, just so god damn real.
“Bury Me Deep” isn’t just heard; it’s felt, sitting with you long after the final note fades, the last lingering, emploring word drifts off into the night.
