“Breaking the Chain” by Bear Jr - Where fingerstyle roots meet emotional rock.

Music for changing the past and moving forward.

Bear Jr is a local Philadelphia artist who performs independently, combining emotional storytelling with the energy of contemporary rock. With over 20 years of experience playing guitar, he blends his emotional understanding of life into his lyrics and still maintains a rock sound. Through his music, he delves into life, parenthood, grit, anxiety, revival, and hope, turning the experiences of life into grand rock moments that deeply connect with people looking for truth, equilibrium, and emotional insight.

Breaking The Chain is an alternative rock track that feels like an insight into the artist's life, and is very much down, to, earth while emotionally truthful.

The song is basically a quiet and somewhat tense affair that revolves around Bear Jr.'s signature fingerstyle guitar and is very reflective in nature. By the end, it gets a very heavy, triumphant rock treatment. The song can be interpreted as a struggle with generational tendencies, facing one's inner demons or feeling the pressure of responsibility. It is a pretty, liberating song that makes a nice mixture of the artist's weakness and his inner strength, the kind of music that keeps moving forward but still remembers its roots.
