Tim: Here’s a nice one for you, a fair mish-mash that’s somewhat pleasant.
Tom: Sounds like my cooking.
Tim: I say ‘mish-mash’ – largely because I have trouble focusing on it. I’ve pressed play on it three times now, running through to the end, but each time I’ve become distracted, or found my mind wandering elsewhere, opening up a new tab or flicking over to Twitter.
Tom: It’s got a really promising introduction, but then it gets caught up in that “don’t even care” loop.
Tim: I remember enjoying it – instrumentation is nice, good vocal, and when I force myself to pay attention to it it really is good – but I can’t actually remember any specific parts of it after it’s finished.
Tom: Yes: it’s musically really nice. The instrumental after the chorus, the fast melody in the background, everything. But it’s like my mind just slides off it. The rhythm of that melody line just doesn’t change.
Tim: It’s really good, but I just…wish I didn’t have to force myself to pay attention to it.
