Daniel Seavey throws himself into the despair of heartbreak and destruction in new song “Love’s A Gun,” an ominous pop anthem transforming toxic love into a war zone. Set against melancholic melodies, the song expresses the weariness of trying to have someone who always causes harm.
From his very first words, “I’ve been fighting my demons / But I’m giving up the fight,” Seavey establishes an intense emotional climate. His music sounds like it is coming from the heart and not just being performed. Though his song makes use of the idea of love as a weapon, which can easily sound over the top, Seavey manages to ground it in reality through his understated production style.
Undoubtedly, the chorus is the best part of the song. “Baby, your love’s a gun / You’ll want me now then kill me when you’re done” is an incredibly honest statement and a great line to make the listener go on singing for hours. The constant repetition in the post-chorus makes the song really hypnotic and, in a way, resembles going back to someone who will only bring pain later.
Vocally, Seavey is more confident and emotionally vulnerable than ever before. There is rawness in the way he performs this song, particularly when delivering the second verse and bridge — he cannot help but let out how desperate he is. His vocals do not need over-production here.
“Love’s A Gun” is yet another example of how Daniel Seavey has grown as an artist. It is a drama-filled, addictive song that anyone who has ever been through heartbreak will be able to relate to.
