Behind The Tracks: Sour Blood - The Nameless (Single) (2025)

What we want to achieve artistically is explore various genres and keep our music interesting and relevant. There are no limits to it, and as much as there are directions which are very natural for us like guitar-driven rock, there is so much more to music and, hopefully, we will do justice to all of our tastes and ambitions one day. With every newly released single, we aspire to relay new emotions and sounds to enrich our musical landscapes. It’s a lot of fun to play with fresh ideas and allow yourself to reinvent that idea over and over.

 

We like to compare our music to old TV series and the concept of having a different adventure every week. A “monster of the week” sort of thing. That being said, being in a band is twice as fun if you can still surprise yourself, in contrast to following a very specific formula and sound. Hopefully, every now and again we will be able to surprise our listeners too, and make them wonder what comes next.

The Nameless is a song which practically wrote itself. Music came first very quickly, and along with the moody atmosphere soon a subject matter followed. It revolves around conflict and acceptance. As you listen to the song or read the lyrics, it may at first seem it’s about a past relationship. And you would be right to think so - that’s the package for the broader concept and message. In more general terms, it’s a story of one’s past belonging to oneself. You may be at peace with it and think you are in control; however, it will come after you at various points in life and rarely are you prepared for the emotional baggage it may bring. We think that everyone wants to believe that the decisions they made were right. On the other hand, you could have enjoyed something which you eventually realized was wrong. After this experience, are you smarter now, or would you do this over again hoping for a different outcome? At the end of the day, we are all just trying to do our best." - Witold added.
