Alwyn Morrison delivers *Chained* as a hushed musical storm which sinks deep into your being until it permeates your entire body. Morrison exposes his deepest feelings through this heartfelt guitar ballad while singing about someone stuck in depression's haze as a New York indie musician. The song carries deep genuine emotions and authentic human elements which seem to pull pieces of his soul from every musical note.
The indie rock instrumentation of this song carries an empty streets midnight driving energy combined with its grounded and airy feel. Morrison's voice emerges rough yet saturated with emotion like he whispers hidden secrets which he has protected throughout time. Michael Carey produced the song in a polished Los Angeles studio that preserved the original gritty essence. Those guitar lines and last-minute background vocals? Morrison's heart quick moment is present in this song.
The song *Chained* seems to have escaped directly from his heart. In the blink of an instant he composed the song during his flight after strolling through Central Park which resulted in a deeply personal yet wide-reaching piece. Any individual who has devoted love to someone impossible to repair will recognize themselves in this song. That mix of helpless devotion and stubborn hope? It’s gut-wrenching and beautiful.
I stand devoted to music that delivers profound experiences because *Chained* presents this revelation to me. Morrison performs the song with the raw honesty of someone who has been sharing such tales through songs from the very beginning. This song nestles within you deeply just like a forgotten experience of your past. People listen to this song many times because it delivers something authentic rather than seeking hit potential. Experience the song by listening while it opens up your emotions slightly.
