The Neon Sea Reveals New Single ‘Burning (Troubadour Version)’

With “Burning (Troubadour Version),” The Neon Sea pulls off a rare musical trick: making sorrow sound like salvation. This isn’t your typical cry-into-your-pillow ballad. Instead, it glides along with lush guitars, dreamy textures, and a steady pulse that keeps you afloat even as the lyrics sink deep into themes of loss and emotional upheaval.

Tom Doyle’s vocal performance is the anchor here—equal parts haunted and hopeful. There's a vulnerability to his voice that feels like he's confiding in you during a midnight walk, but the production elevates everything into widescreen catharsis. Think: The Cure if they wrote a song in the middle of a particularly therapeutic group hug.

This is a track that belongs in your “emotional breakthrough” playlist—right after a big cry and right before your triumphant comeback. “Burning (Troubadour Version)” aches, yes, but it radiates too. Who knew grief could be this gorgeous?
