Vocalist Bruce wrote the song as a dedication to his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Midwave Breaks - All She Was (Visualiser)\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i9iHL80kTvk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Midwave Breaks &#8211; &#8216;All She Was<\/em>&#8216;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up next is the EP&#8217;s title track, &#8216;Standing Inside Out,&#8217; which is plugged with pounding percussions, blaring guitars, and rabid bass plucks. The melody is a juiced modern pop-rock rip-roaring tune, shrouded with elements of 1970s guitar motifs. The band calls its theme &#8220;an unapologetic nod to the multi-layered anthemic vocal styling of their late 80\u2019s youth.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Away We Go&#8217; is four minutes of immaculate instrumentation, coupled with crooning vocals and stimulating guitars. The composition is complete with an interactive sing-along segment for a live crowd that concludes the EP. The duo states, &#8220;The vision behind the track was to create a captivating opener for their live performance, building through repeated sonic layers, hinting at what\u2019s to come, culminating in an explosive display of energy, which promises to set a powerful scene for their live show.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Midwave Breaks - Souvenirs (Rock The Park 2023)\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Ie5Pz5mmVs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
