Otherworldly Things – Tired of Monsters

“Tired of Monsters” by Otherworldly Things is not just a song; it’s a raw and relevant commentary on the tumultuous state of the world. Jim Browne, the band’s lead vocalist and guitarist, reveals that the track was born out of the overwhelming presence of societal monsters dominating the news cycles in 2020. Formed in 2014, Otherworldly Things consists of Browne, along with Matt Revie, Jason Binnick, and Travis Harrison, each contributing their unique talents to the band’s distinctive sound. From the very first notes of the song, it’s evident that “Tired of Monsters” is not your typical rock track. Infused with elements of punk and classic rock, the song channels the spirit of bands like The Jam, Green Day, and Buzzcocks. The distorted vocals create an eerie, otherworldly vibe, setting the stage for the powerful message to come. The instrumentation is equally compelling, with groovy guitar riffs reminiscent of the edgier side of The Rolling Stones and driving drums that propel the song forward with a sense of urgency. Each element of the music works in harmony to create a sonic landscape that mirrors the chaos and confusion of the world around us. However, it’s the lyrics of “Tired of Monsters” that truly shine as the heart and soul of the song. Browne’s words capture the frustration and exhaustion of living in a world overrun by monsters, whether they be literal or metaphorical. Lines like “I can’t sleep at night because I’m tired of monsters” and “We’re all tired of monsters, we need to make it all right” resonate deeply, reflecting a universal longing for peace and resolution. As the song builds to its climax, Browne’s vocals reach a crescendo, driving home the song’s powerful message with undeniable force. It’s a call to action, a race for change in the face of adversity.
