Rise is about breaking away from the constraints that hold you and finally becoming liberated and free. It begins, ‘You make the rules and I stand in line like a good girl… I pay you in full then you hold out your hand for more ’ guided by a tense web of guitar motifs. The song is a defiant dawning that enough is enough! The chorus is an upbeat charge forward, bolting out of the traps…
The song depicts elements of betrayal, sleight of hand and triumph over deceit. It’s steeped in 60’s flavour, but with a modern edge and comes under the genre of ‘blue-eyed soul’.
