In his most soul-baring work, independent artist Rip Gerber returns with "Tell Me Tell Me," a thrilling, emotionally rich single that feels more like a whispered conversation with grief than a traditional track. Hot on the heels of his last release, "Mister Happy," Gerber dives deeper into the raw terrain of personal loss, exploring the unspoken moments left behind after the sudden passing of his father during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The song opens with a haunting, minimalist melody that sets the emotional tone immediately, there’s no hiding behind metaphor here. Gerber’s voice doesn’t just sing; it aches. As he leafs through memories frozen in old photographs and high school yearbooks, you can feel the weight of absence, the questions that haunt him: What did my father feel in his final moments? Was there peace, regret… or something in between?
It’s heavy, but never forced. The vulnerability is real, and it’s this authenticity that makes "Tell Me Tell Me" hit so hard. The accompanying music video only deepens the impact, acting as a quiet tribute to words unsaid and emotions unresolved.
Rip Gerber has a rare gift: turning deeply personal pain into something that feels universal. "Tell Me Tell Me" is a reckoning, a reaching out, and ultimately, a reminder of how music helps us say what we often can’t.
