Song Review: “Wear It On Our Sleeve” by Dellwood | A Rock Discovery
Music Review:
““Wear It On Our Sleeve” by Dellwood drifts in on a soft-rock current that feels less performed than gently exhaled, like a languid midday breeze carrying half-remembered images. The melody avoids grand peaks, instead unfolding quietly, creating a space where the whispered vocals take on an almost revelatory weight. There’s a fragile sincerity here that doesn’t shout but lingers. The rhythm stays subdued, nearly invisible, giving silence a sense of gravity — as if it’s the track’s most precious element.”

Lyrics of Dellwood – Wear It On Our Sleeve
On and on we run
Facing down the sun
We wear it on our sleeve
Face the memories
We take on the pain
And we wear it all the same
We wear it on our sleeve
And even when it hurts to believe
We face the memories
All this time
The old photographs tell truths and lies
When we saw mother cry
We still didn’t know their love
A disguise for us
He left his coat in the back of our car
Still smells like pine and cheap cigars
We had learned to lie in the same way we prayed
Quiet, and often afraid
And on and on we run
Facing down the sun
We wear it on our sleeve
Face the memories
We take on the pain
And we wear it all the same
We wear it on our sleeve
And even when it hurts to believe
We face the memories
Lost track of the years
Out of the ashes a new chance appears
I’ve seen what it costs
So in that quiet house, made a vow
I’ll never walk out
And on and on we run
Facing down the sun
We wear it on our sleeve
Face the memories
We take on the pain
And we wear it all the same
We wear it on our sleeve
And even when it hurts to believe
We face the memories
