flipturn’s shines a blinding truth on love, loss, and growth with ‘Sunlight’

With their new single, "Sunlight," from their latest album, Burnout Days, flipturn casts a personal reckoning and the painful beauty of growth. A heavily confessional song, this one sees lead vocalist Dillon Basse at his most vulnerable, stripping layers off of childhood memories, familial struggle, and complicated acceptance, all of which come with loving someone through their hardest battles.

From the first breath of "Sunlight," you are doused in a corkscrew of searing guitars and crashing cymbals, each note underlining the weight of Basse’s words. But "Sunlight" is a kind of resilience, a painful but necessary act of cutting back the past to make room for new growth.

Basse unites the theme with a stark metaphor. His mother took up bonsai gardening after she finished rehab to stay sober, and he recalls her tending her little gardens. Like those little trees, we often need careful cuts, painful and intentional, but ultimately essential to grow taller.

"Sunlight" carries an urgency you can almost hear as a cathartic release. It is a song that needs to be written as much as it needs to be heard. flipturn makes you feel every rough edge of it. "Sunlight" focused on transporting love through the flames and discovering how it expands on the other side.
