A Guitar Riff That Immediately Grabs Attention

Clyde the Band’s “Better” opens with a guitar riff that immediately grabs attention, setting the tone for a track that’s as introspective as it is energetic. The song’s driving rhythm carries the listener through emotionally charged verses toward a cathartic, anthemic chorus. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to move, think, and feel all at once.

The lyrics are the song’s heart, exploring feelings of invalidation and self-doubt with a raw honesty that’s hard to ignore. Each line resonates with anyone who has ever struggled to have their feelings recognized, turning deeply personal experiences into a universally relatable story. The result is a track that balances emotional vulnerability with confidence and grit.

On the sonic side, “Better” excels at marrying melody with edge. The guitars provide texture and energy, while the vocal delivery conveys both intimacy and power. Fans of Pixies, Pavement, or Wunderhorse will appreciate the nods to alt-rock heritage, yet the band’s modern sensibility ensures the track feels fresh and entirely their own.
