The lyrics and video imagery do exactly that, but when you declare something meaningful, in a passionate way it rarely makes others comfortable and through that discomfort new ideas and thoughts are born.
That said, this track delivers emotions, entertainment and a punch to the gut that leaves you engrossed. ”

The clarinet drives the narrative, but the downplayed beat is sneaky in the way it lurks behind the scenes pushing and prodding until it needs to burst forth. ”
