We're at a bit of a crossroads: is this song comforting or anxiety-inducing? That's the confusing dichotomy we face when we find something poignant enough to make us feel alone and lost, yet warmed by the fact that we're not the only ones. It's cathartic.
Off of Louis Cole's summer album release of "Time," the deep shimmering synths, shallow drum pads, and distorted piano seemingly reach you from another dimension. The deliberate, literal lyrics, "things may not work out how you thought/maybe it is good, maybe it is bad," give you the news straight; no sugarcoating.
While we avoid the ill and chase pleasure, this song is a reality check. Your expectations and reality won't always match up no matter what you do. But maybe that's just an opening to another door. You might be surprised.
