BANNERS‘ latest release, “Tell You I Love You,” is about that one moment that can change everything. It’s a song about that feeling of meeting someone and all of a sudden the world is a little different, and the excitement and not knowing what is going to happen that comes with it. I like that the subject is acting while the feeling is still there. ‘Accident’ is where the most meaningful moments occur. Occasionally the hardest thing is finding the courage to say how you feel before the moment is gone.
It’s not about making big statements. It’s about the impulse to follow a feeling.” The chemistry is wonderful but also makes you wonder what’s next. You might feel something big is starting, but you might not know if the other person feels it too. But the thing about “Tell You I Love You” is that it captures that uncertainty, that place where excitement and nerves coexist.
I think the heart of the song for me is something that will resonate with many listeners, and that is the courage it takes to speak truth when you don’t know what the outcome is. Love doesn’t always start with certainty, with words measured and weighed. Occasionally it starts with a feeling too big to hold. BANNERS explores that moment of uncertainty, when doubt meets possibility, when a routine confession becomes an experience that could alter a relationship.
