The Family Hodes illuminate hearts with “Never Lose Sight – Remixed”

“Never Lose Sight – Remixed” is a new version of the Family Hodes’ favourite acoustic love song, giving it a new life. This song is a family story, told by Peggo, Paul, and their daughter, Ariana Hodes, a singer-songwriter.

Initially recorded in Nashville, Paul, Ariana’s father, told her to put “Never Lose Sight” on her solo EP, which is how it came to be. This new version, created in their home studio, retains the spirit of the original while adding more clarity and emotion. Ariana’s sultry, soulful lead vocals shine like a soft sunrise, and Peggo’s warm harmonies wrap around her voice like a mother’s love and familiarity.

The music is a subtle blend of indie, folk, Americana, and a touch of country, which is what The Family Hodes is all about. Kent Allyn’s expressive piano and smooth fretless bass blend perfectly with Paul’s guitar to create a soundscape that feels like home. They bring Ariana’s poignant lyrics to life in a modern love ballad that explores the universal need for connection, a sense of heritage, and belonging.

“Never Lose Sight – Remixed” is real music, shaped by love and art over the course of many years. It sounds like every note was carefully chosen, and every harmony is well-deserved. This remix not only looks back at the past, but it also changes how we see it, making it more powerful, personal, and refined. This release invites people not only to listen to the story of The Family Hodes but also to experience it firsthand, and this could help them remember their own stories.

Metaphoric Mind unveils dark intensity and catchy rhythms on latest release “Jaws”

Metaphoric Mind delivers a hard-hitting, energetic sound on “Jaws” built on dark themes, razor-sharp guitars and a driving instrumental base. I love how the song opens up with a strong attack, fast synths and drums and the lead guitar gives a compelling edge to the momentum of the song. The result is a powerful record with a darker mood, but also rhythmic pull that gives the track an energy that is both urgent and captivating.

The lyrics of the song go back to the idea of trying again and making things right, reinforcing the determined mood. That sentiment is echoed throughout, a persistence thread beneath the dark tone of “Jaws,” a willingness to confront the mistake rather than leave it unresolved.

The dark feel gives the song a unique character and the syncopation between the drums and lead guitar make the song accessible and engaging. “Jaws” is an intense listen and a striking addition to Metaphoric Mind’s sound for fans of music that mixes weight and urgency with memorable instrumental interplay.
