Song of the Week: "It’s All So Much" by BRADEN ALL CAPS

Even with my history of car crashes (it’s a long story), my love for driving never faded. In fact, most of my playlists are curated by driving vibes. The songs you throw on during a rainy April day are going to hit completely differently than the ones you blast at 7:30 AM on your way to work in December.

Out of the 200+ playlists I’ve made over the years, one that I always come back to is Driving in the Dark. It’s for those late summer nights, windows down, freeway open, and ultra-specific songs that somehow remind you of both everything behind you and everything ahead. Some songs just tap into a feeling you almost can’t name: it’s heartbreak, it’s freedom, it’s not knowing what’s next.

BRADEN ALL CAPS’ latest single, It’s All So Much, landed right onto that playlist.

Braden is a Spokane-based solo artist who refuses to be boxed in. As described on his website, “Braden makes the music he wants to make.” His sound pulls from hip-hop, rock, indie pop, and whatever else inspires him.

It’s All So Much highlights that genre-blending spirit perfectly. It’s also a true testament to his self-made approach: the track was entirely created, mixed, and mastered by Braden himself, and it features a gorgeous guitar solo by his close friend and bandmate, Bryson Coalt.

The backbone of the track was built on a Behringer Poly D Synthesizer, with additional elements slowly layering in until the song evolved into something rich and cinematic. It captures that driving in the dark, I’m going to remember this forever kind of feeling.

The beat is chill, but the emotion runs deep. It hits you in that reflective zone, the one where you’re not even sure what you’re feeling, just that you’re feeling something big.

Lyrically, this is a song that would resonate with anyone - love is at the core. Lines like:

“Love is hard to control / so maybe I’m better alone / it’s all so much”

capture the raw, spiraling nature of trying to hold onto something (or someone) when it all feels overwhelming.

The cinematic production pairs seamlessly with these themes. Whether you're on a night drive, staring at the stars, or curled up feeling your feelings, this song meets you where you're at — and that’s what makes it work so well.

If you’re hunting for your next summer staple, driving song, or feels track, BRADEN ALL CAPS’ It’s All So Much is ready for your playlist. Genre-blending, emotionally rich, and rooted in the local Spokane scene.
