“Young Gun“ by Cris Cap

“Young Gun” by Cris Cap is an inspirational, feel good song that will have you ready to embrace love. Cap, a multi-faceted artist with an aptitude for blending genres, reminisces over his younger self that used to fear love. The soulful vocals, pop melodies, and R&B rhythms come together to craft a unique sonic landscape that captivates the listener from start to finish. With a compelling narrative that shows the journey from being terrified to fall in love to being more than ready to face the challenge, “Young Gun” definitely belongs on your playlist. 

Bouncy piano melodies, a steady drum rhythm, and other fun instrumentation, like a cinematic organ, paint the soundscape of this track. The uplifting instrumentation adds to the joyful narrative, carrying you across the arrangement with ease. Lyrics like “I was a young gun with a heart full of love, I was so afraid” express that common fear of emotional intimacy in youth. It can be so scary and unfamiliar to connect with another person romantically, and the feeling that you’re going to do it wrong is hard to overcome. This track makes it feel a little less intimidating, and a little more exciting.

The line “now I know that love is worth the plain, I’ll take my shot, never be the same” is particularly impactful. Though love doesn’t always work out, it always changes us for the better. The goodness and growth that comes from falling for someone is worth it, even if it doesn’t end up being a forever love.
