Back to Friends

I really like this song from Sombr — the stage name of songwriter and producer Shane Boose. I have an 11-year-old son, and I teach a ton of kids guitar, so they keep me well-informed on the latest TikTok trends. “Back to Friends” is one I’ve been teaching a lot lately. It has a naturally darker, cinematic quality that made it a perfect fit for my catalog.

The verse and chorus melodies are strong throughout, but the bridge is where the song really opens up — a brilliant, Jeff Buckley-esque progression that elevates the whole thing.
