Trickshooter Social Club’s released a new single called “Better than Love” is deeply moving. A roots-rock anthem praising the unassuming strength of acceptance, it is both emotional and inspiring. The song’s subtle beauty draws inspiration from the storytelling prowess of John Prine and Leonard Cohen and interprets intimacy connection in perspective, making the message engaging and relatable to the rest of us.
In its essence, “Better Than Love” does not portray love as all about happy endings or romantic ideals. Rather, it demonstrates the pleasure of being with another person. Be it a friend, family, or love partner, it is about knowing and fully accepting the other person. The words are anecdotes that make sense. They describe sharing a cup of tea while watching Elvis Presley’s smile on the coaster. Such modest and personal nuances make the song stand out in profound ways. Genre-wise, the band sticks to its roots as expected and incorporates folk-rock tunes with an alt-country twist. The warm essence of the pieces is well balanced, where soulful guitar lines and steady-paced percussion are also complemented with gritty yet tender-voiced lyrics. There is an organic feel to the sound, and the production is quite uncomplicated, allowing the broad range of raw emotion to break through with ease and in a very frank manner. That feeling is both new and familiar; it feels like just another piece of storytelling rock that is all the rage in Trickshooter Social Club.
One standout characteristic of “Better Than Love” is its freshness, which reminds the listeners to appreciate the moment. Out here where everything seems to move so fast, this song is an interlude, a reminder that in some instances, forgiveness may be a more precious feeling than love. Trickshooter Social Club has put such an emotional emphasis at the end of the song which unfolds after the last note dies away.
