Trickshooter Social Club’s new single, “Better Than Love”, is a beautiful reflection on human connection and acceptance. Inspired by the timeless storytelling of John Prine and Leonard Cohen, the song digs deep into what it means to truly accept someone, flaws and all. The lyrics center on a quiet, intimate moment shared between two people—whether they’re friends, family, or partners. What matters isn’t the label, but the profound sense of comfort and understanding between them.
The song beautifully expresses how sometimes, simply being with someone—without judgment, without trying to change them—can be even more meaningful than love itself. The image of pouring a cup of orange tea, setting it on a coaster with a picture of Elvis Presley, captures the essence of this moment: a peaceful, accepting presence. The quiet, simple acts of care speak volumes in this song, creating an emotional depth that resonates with anyone who has ever shared a moment of true connection. Musically, “Better Than Love” combines the spirit of roots rock with alt-country influences, creating a warm, inviting sound. The song is stripped back but rich, with gentle acoustic guitars and soft percussion that feel like an invitation to lean in and listen. There’s a certain whiskey-soaked, world-weary quality to the track, but it’s not dark—rather, it’s a reflection of life’s complexities, where moments of redemption and understanding shine through.
The Chicago-based Trickshooter Social Club brings their signature sound to this track, blending heartfelt lyrics with a smooth, rootsy feel. The song has a timeless quality, yet it feels fresh and relatable. With “Better Than Love”, they’ve crafted a deeply human anthem about the power of acceptance, making it a track that will stay with you long after it ends.
