On September 4, 2025- Canadian band; The Veer Union released their newest single "Caught In The Crossfire" via Arising Empire that truly left me speechless. "Caught In The Crossfire" has easily became one of my favorite singles that has been released in 2025. This was the first song that I listened to by this band, and they instantly gained a fan. Between the back and forth of the different types of vocals; it enhances the deeper meaning of the song, which as you watch the video you can see a war going on. And the war can be a metaphor for how some relationships are sadly. Sometimes we get into a relationship with a loved one or even some friends that may cause chaos in our lives. Constant confrontation, arguments, and never feeling at peace. The video indicates that there's so much emotional turmoil and at times you feel like you're in a constant war with that person and yourself. The way I interpreted the video was that the winter is a sign of how cold and heartless someone can be and you feel like your frozen to the point where you can't move forward.

“We poured our rage and souls into “Caught in the Crossfire”. It’s an assault that tears into the chaos of a relationship that always seems to be in confrontation. It’s about the brutal push-pull between love and hate, where our words turn to shrapnel, carving wounds that trap us in an endless war. The savage struggle to hold onto connection through relentless conflict is a raw, unyielding truth that countless people face every day”. - The Veer Union

“The video for “Caught In The Crossfire” visually explores the emotional battlefield of a relationship — where love and resentment collide, and words become weapons. Instead of portraying a couple in a traditional argument, we chose to tell the story through the lens of war, both literally and metaphorically.  Set against the backdrop of World War II, the video follows a soldier fighting overseas, while his wife waits at home. The letters he writes become a lifeline — a symbol of connection, struggle, and emotional survival. The combat scenes reflect the internal chaos and tension that can exist between two people. The performance scenes were filmed in Stanley Park, Vancouver — our first time shooting outdoors in February. It was a rare sunny winter day, and while we’re proud of how it turned out, we're not in a rush to brave that kind of cold again!” - The Veer Union
