Marking a significant milestone in the punk rock realm, NOAHFINNCE has joined the celebration of Hopeless Records’ 30th anniversary with a unique twist on one of Waterparks’ popular tracks. NOAHFINNCE, known for dynamic musical renditions, has brought new life to Waterparks’ vibrant 2019 single with a cover that mixes melancholy with melody in a way only he can.
This tribute is a standout on the ‘Hopelessly Devoted To You: 30th Anniversary’ compilation, a collection where artists honor the legacy of the iconic record label. In reflecting on his creative process, NOAHFINNCE commented, ‘Had a super fun time with this cover. I think Waterparks are such an exciting band.’ His approach was introspective; ‘How would this song sound if I wrote it?’ he pondered. In doing so, he has crafted a rendition that stays true to the original’s lively sound but explores the darker themes woven through the lyrics.
The song in focus, ‘I Miss Having Sex But At Least I Don’t Wanna Die Anymore,’ is expertly reinvented. It’s a composition that contrasts uplifting rhythms with introspective and somber lyrics. NOAHFINNCE said, ‘I love how the original has such an upbeat sound with depressing lyrics, I thought I’d make the track sound as dark as I felt the lyrics were.’ Fans of both NOAHFINNCE and Waterparks are in for an auditory treat as this cover bridges the gap between two musical worlds.
