There is an early 2000's alternative rock vibe to it that hits me squarely in the nostalgia. It's not emo revival, but it has that pensive, melancholy feel to it with enough power behind it to make the song hit hard. The layers of acoustic and electric guitars especially evoke that sound.
Naturally, as someone who grew up on that kind of music I love this, but I'm curious as to how the younger generation will take to it.

The song is ok, but these young vocalists play it too safe. Nothing memorable about his vocals at all. What was great about those early 2000's emo and Alt bands were the vocals. None of them were carbon copies of each other. This almost sounds like lite version of Fuel's "Bad Day" without the strong vocalworks of Brett Scallions.

This is like "Scumbag" by Goody Grace if it was good.

I kind of agree with doc here actually. I wanna like this more than I do, it's just kind of bland

I like it. Reminds me of an old Goo Goo Dolls song!

I wanted to like this so much more but the vocals are awful and the melody just doesn't go anywhere

This sounds like a watered down version of alt 10-12 years ago. It felt like it should’ve picked up at some point but never did.
Edit: It actually grew on me. After a couple more listens I appreciate what they wanted to do.
