Which TØP song does this to you?
Story time, anyone?? I’ll go first…
I discovered Trench when my self-esteem was at an all time low, for a variety of reasons. I’ve never thought of an album as a godsend until then. I listened to it for about a month straight, working long hours on my laptop while my roommate was sleeping. It was perfect for keeping the negative thoughts at bay.
The song I looped the most BY FAR was Morph. That funky beat? That floaty chorus? The replay value? Dang. It’s the perfect balance of energizing but not overstimulating. I could STILL listen to that song for hours and not get sick of it. And I recently realized that I was subconsciously relating to the lyrics as well. Feeling like a ghost of yourself? Putting on a mask as a defense mechanism? Yeah…ouch. I guess even the “less emotional” tracks can hit hard sometimes.
To this day, I can’t listen to Morph without thinking about those long nights - and feeling immense appreciation and love for the song.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has an association like this. I’d love to hear your story too, if you’re willing to share!
