素敵なメンツの演奏で、いつも以上にグッドメロディーが映えてる気がする。この曲を聴き終えたときにまさか5分以上経ってるとは思わなかったくらい演奏が気持ちいい。
“There are introverted and extroverted tendencies within me. Too much outward vulnerability can leave me empty and low. In this song the character is harnessing their need to go inward; a seemingly selfish desire but a necessity in order to give again. The message is to sit with the low emotions and to let the high come naturally, not forcing it with something artificial. Stability and comfortability may not be the goal but rather processing deep feelings and growth is the pursuit.”
