The bedroom pop guitar, the harshness of the beat, the repetition of the riffs, Antwon's voice rough and echoey over it — all sounds like leaning out of a car driving through a town you knew when you were a different person and thought life would be different; it's summer and you're wondering when everything fell apart There's an inevitability to the grief in Antwon's forceful delivery and the constancy of the guitar and the beat: "you seemed so sad, I felt the same / I knew you felt a way that I couldn't change", all delivered as facts. No illusory hopes, no wishing it away, no positive spin. Only an acknowledgement of the sadness and its gravity — a recognition poignant in itself because sometimes all we want is just to be heard, to be seen Feels dumb to say (because surely it's the point of music) but I love a track in which the instrumentation and production add a vital layer to the story being told that couldn't be expressed any other way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip6P1do1__c
