the take

absolutely perfect song. i related to it from the get-go, but the lyrics have hit too close to home recently to the point where i feel like i manifested this stage of my life just by listening to the song. that aside, the production on this track is one of their best, and the songwriting paired with the "heavier" sound is what makes it so cathartic. tøp's subject matter has never shied from being dark, but this deals with something so serious that it shocked me on my first listen. but it's also a song of hope, hence why i continue to blast it at any opportunity despite the emotions it brings forth. anyways, although not my All-Time Absolute Favorite Song of theirs (shout out bandito), this is easily one of the top 3 best songs they've ever made. truly i would put it up against trees as their BEST song overall. positively fantastic.
