Trickshooter Social Club's latest release, “We’re Better When We’re Broken," is a folk, acoustic rock and punk-leaning song that makes imperfection a source of strength, built around a deeply human idea. The track takes cues from Leonard Cohen’s famous contemplation on cracks and light, embracing emotional scars, mistakes and the beauty that emerges from hardship.
The emotional centre of the song is the lyric’s call to believe, to never give up, and to know that people can become stronger from their fractures. This writing is not about perfection as a goal but meaning in persistence. The message is straightforward, down-to-earth and sincere.
Cool drums, guitars and piano chords are the foundation of the song and support the song without overwhelming its message. The vocals are real and unpolished in a way that suits the subject perfectly, so the roughness becomes part of the character of the performance. The song is just over 3 minutes long, getting its message across efficiently while still remaining warm and reflective. “We’re Better When We’re Broken,” which treats being incomplete as strength rather than a weakness, lending its folk-rock base real emotional heft and contemporary resonance.
