Proving that rock music can be powerful as well as graceful, punchy, and still poised…big and clever, “Take Me Home” is a fine piece of sonic architecture. For every hard-hitting rock and roll groove, it has just as many cinematic moves. And if the previous single “Satellite” played with such juxtapositions to some degree, “Take Me Home” is where such opposites become oh so attractive.
And it isn’t just the balance of sonics that they get right, when you consider the nature of the lyrics against the musical backdrop, another deft tightrope walk is pulled off. Given the overall upbeat and wide-screen sound of the song, the lyrical theme of feeling lost, alone, abandoned, and vulnerable also comes as a surprise.
But that is what Sunrise In Jupiter does so well, that mixing of worlds, merging of genres, blending of conflicting sounds, style, emotion, and feelings, that’s the thing that sets them apart from the pack. They are proof that the musical elements that have long been the engine room of rock music and those that make pop so infectious are not mutually exclusive, anything but. “Take Me Home” takes the power and punch of the former and the contagion and accessibility of the latter and fuses them together into a sound that has mass appeal, not to mention, given a fair wind, potential mainstream chart success.
