“The Rise“ by The Harbours

“The Rise” by The Harbours is an electric indie rock song that offers inspiration and confidence to anyone chasing a dream. The Harbours is a band based in England that effortlessly blends catchy pop melodies with alternative indie production, crafting riveting sonic landscapes that you just can’t turn away from. For anyone with an artistic calling, this song really hits home, singing about that determined hope that comes with feeling like you’re on the verge of something great.

This track opens with an instantly captivating electric guitar solo that continues to riff throughout the song, providing both rhythm and ear candy. Steady drums and a thrumming bass build the backbone of the song, and the impassioned vocal performance adds a layer of gripping emotion to the track. Sparse verses keep the vocal up close and intimate, contrasting the denser chorus, which has soaring instrumentation and layered vocals that add a feeling of tenacity to the arrangement. This helps the song take the listener through a dynamic journey, especially once you reach the instrumental breakdown and build back up that happens after the second chorus.

Lyrics like “the rise is coming, feel it blowing in the wind” and “can’t leave it up to fate” show just how strongly The Harbours believe in their dreams. They know that their talent and hard work can take them far, and are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The pride and grit laced in the lyrics of this song are inspiring, and leave you with your own sense of unshakeable self-belief.
