orion XV described this one as “sad Usher meets GnR” and I feel that. He croons so effortlessly about heartbreak and heartache on the constantly-building instrumental that hits a fever pitch with a scalding-hot guitar solo. Lyrically, it’s like a mix between Prince and The Weeknd. That is, a lot of straightforward lyrics blend with more conceptual ones to talk about the way(s) orion’s been hurt by this self-centered partner and the ways he’s trying to recover while the world continues to move, sometimes at a breakneck pace. I like how the track ends as well, because it’s sudden and abrupt. It’s just like the end of a relationship, even if you see it coming. Check out the song below and remember to support dope music in all its forms.
