Xavier Bernazard “Hero Song”

Xavier Bernazard brings a powerful tune from their upcoming album Balloons For My Funeral. With every single line of lyrics and sonics written from their heart, “Hero Song” is a love letter dedicated to their family, who have been the heroic figures and inspirations in their life. The track is empowered by their most recognized electronic guitar sounds throughout their music endeavour, drawing inspirations from animation and video games.

One of the things that “Hero Song” embraces so fully is the quirks and passion that feels close to heart for Bernazard. In their past releases, we could already capture the soaring, iconic electronic guitar licks that charge his music with bolts of rocker’s lightning, but in “Hero Song,” these influences are brought up so fully that it feels empowering and cathartic. At the same time, the passionate, fantastic world built around these easily recognized rock influences from video games and animations are just simply pouring into their music so effortlessly.

“Hero Song” has a vivid sonic palette that almost feels a bit abstract and daring. It’s hard not to love what they have painted with their sonics. It’s so rich, encouraging, contrasting, and fantastic. The emotions and storytellings in there, on the other hand, are down to earth meaningful. There’s a lot of power in embracing what you love, and when an art is coming from the place of truth, it radiates a certain energy that inspires the listeners to do the same.

“Hero Song” explores a range of emotions — love, appreciation, admiration, acceptance, and passion through cinematic storytelling. In there, you hear a scream that gives it all, you hear the sweat and action, but you also get a moment of tenderness and vulnerability. “Hero Song” has it all, and it’s safe to say that this may be the best Xavier Bernazard has delivered yet.
