Iris Has Friends invites us to "Its Time To Go Dancing Barefoot On Broadway Street"

Iris Has Friends turns the page with "It's Time To Go Dancing Barefoot On Broadway Street," its spanking new single. This isn't your typical melancholy song soundtrack but a boot-stomping, heart-healing celebration of the guy giving up the goose and getting your groove back in the center of the dance floor.

"It's Time To Go Dancing Barefoot On Broadway Street" is a vibe, a mantra, and maybe even a slight challenge. Iris Has Friends encourages us to relish the mess, trip lightly through the heartache, and make merry in the U-turn of new beginnings. It is the kind of song that makes you want to text your ex and best friend but to say, "Meet me on Broadway. "We got some dancing to do."

There's a sense from the opening verse that you've heard this story before, not because it's cliché, but because it's the truth. The words unspool like a late-night conversation with a friend over cheap beer and neon lights, capturing the ache of goodbye without moving out of view of the joy around the bend. There's a lived-in wisdom here, a wink that says, "Yeah, it hurt but look at me now."

What's appealing about this track is that it's at once half-aware of the sting of a breakup and refuses to give in to the sadness. Instead, Iris Has Friends leans into the kind of emotional alchemy in which sadness transmutes into something worth singing about. The melody is bright, breezy, and just rebellious enough to make you want to kick off your shoes and pound the pavement, whether you're in Nashville or only dreaming about it.

It's a delightful combination of the old-school and the new-fangled, almost as if you could squat down Broadway Street and hear those legends of music yipping and yapping down the street. However, they wear different clothing and dance a little looser. The song bubbles with jubilant energy, yet it's never forced or saccharine. It's real, heartfelt, and precisely what you'd want to hear when you've had to pick yourself up and move on. So kick off your boots, turn it up loud, and remember healing isn't always in the form of silence. Sometimes, it looks like dancing barefoot in the middle of the street.
