Featured Tune: "Paramount" from Faith in Foxholes

Paramount by “Faith in Foxholes” is a blend of funky and rock genre of music that makes you think of a classical and nostalgic tune. It is an extremely catchy and uplifting song. It has a high emphasis in the piano that makes it unique.

With its country music style, it transports you to an entirely different place. As the song progresses, the song catches a more intense vibe with the increased rhythm of the piano and the addition of more instruments.

The lyrics express a deep sense of love, reassurance, and reflection, capturing the emotional journey of a person through different stages of their relationship. Despite the narrator’s boldness or vulnerability in their lyrics (perhaps referring to their emotional openness), their partner fell for them anyway. The physical distance ("a thousand miles apart") highlights the strength of their connection.

The phrase “fish in the ocean” could refer to the common saying that there are many potential partners, but the narrator now jokes about it, having found the one. The “lonely songs” and “stories I wrote” refer to their previous expressions of heartache, which are now transformed as they fill their life with color and meaning (symbolized by “black and white and purple and gold”).

As the song moves towards the end, the song’s focus shifts on aging and the deeper aspects of life. The final line, “I have waited for this day,” indicates that the narrator has been waiting for this moment of fulfillment and emotional clarity, likely symbolizing a culmination of their love story, life journey, or commitment to their partner.

It is a beautiful and fulfilling song that pulls at your heartstrings and makes you experience different emotions. It’s something that you will want to listen to repeatedly.
