Music Music Blah Blah Blah

Vacillator (the song that plays on my profile) is one of my all time favorite songs.

The lyrics combined with the instrumental come together to create one of the most beautiful and compelling sonic experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of indulging in. The way the instrumental starts off with this slow, hollow drum loop before exploding into this beautiful yet suffocating soundscape when the vocals come in… I don’t exactly know how to describe it outside of just saying it feels intimate. 

It holds you close, like a lover whispering sweet nothings into your ears before you get pushed back out into the desolation that comes before the chorus. It feels cold and barren, the stark opposite of the way the verses feel. However, when the chorus comes in, so does the warmth. However, to me it still feels sort of isolated, distant, and it’s only enhanced by the outro. The warmth fades, leaving the listener with only the fading memory of it. 

Anyway as you can probably tell, I love this song. If you’ve listened to it (or if I’ve inspired you to give it a listen) plz tell me about it I’d love to know your thoughts ^_^
