Where Love Illuminates the Dark

A spectacular amalgamation of emotions and sound, "Your Love Gives Me Wings" by Of Vizions— the charismatic alter ego of Brandon Apgar— is a song that will whisk listeners off their feet and transport them to a realm where darkness and light harmoniously coalesce.
This synth-pop rock track fuses an array of influences from giants of the genre and successfully wraps them up in Apgar's unique and individual style. Drawing from his love for bands such as The Cure, Depeche Mode, Green Day, and The Rolling Stones, "Your Love Gives Me Wings" boasts an exquisite blend of soaring vocals, poignant lyrics, and an intense instrumental foundation.
The song opens up with an all-consuming guitar soundscape, offering an overture that immediately grips listeners. We are then thrust into the verse, where Brandon Apgar delivers a captivating low-range vocal performance packed with raw passion and intensity.
The chorus is where "Your Love Gives Me Wings" truly takes off. Brandon Apgar's vocals soar into the heavens, channeling a style evocative of Tom Delonge's work with Angels and Airwaves. This soaring refrain presents a musical paradox— the dark undertones are skillfully balanced with an uplifting message, echoing the thematic essence of love's duality.
The robust guitar elements throughout the song create an unwavering rock foundation, resonating with the influence of legendary bands like The Clash and The Rolling Stones. The drums are aggressive, potent and commanding, reminiscent of Travis Barker's style. The drums form the heartbeat of the song, each hit smacking the listener with raw power and emotion.
