Let’s be honest. There’s this need to be held the right way, and it sometimes drives you to the edge of surrendering your heart just to feel it. The Riverose dives into the same feeling with their latest single Don’t Let Me Fall.
Poland-based band The Riverose is the brainchild of their love for indie-rock and Britpop. Currently, they’re one of the acts from the Polish pre-selection for Eurovision 2025.
Don’t Let Me Fall wants you to know one thing: it’s pleading to be saved—not with overly sad, gloomy layers but in gentle, slow guitar strokes. Maybe it’s the guilt from making the same mistakes, the fear of doing it, or the desire for security but either way, it’s trying so hard not to break. The repetition of “don’t let me…” feels like desperation submerged in warm melodies to cover up its vulnerability.
After that mellow, delicate tone, it slowly ascends to anthemic guitar riffs and tighter drum hits. The layered vocals carry that indie soul, heightening its emotional flair without sounding too heavy and rough to listen.
Their shared fascination with Oasis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Carpenters is very much evident in Don’t Let Me Fall. The best part is, The Riverose allowed it to be driven by raw, unfiltered emotions—not with sharp, clever rhymes that drown in complexities. And the more you lean in, the more it’s going to be clear that it’s a picture of someone who’s terrified of abandonment, always on the verge of sabotaging themselves—a hand that reaches out hoping that someone will take it.
