I generally gravitate to the music first before the lyrics. But as a writer, I still marvel at well-spun verses and choruses. This month, I’m joining the music Twitter community in #31DaySongLyricChallenge

Day 16

The synth-heavy instrumentation on Currents weaves in and out in a dream state. Many of the songs feel like we’ve unwillingly entered Parker’s head. Once inside, he reveals his thoughts on relationships and identity like pages out of a journal. Yet, “Yes I’m Changing” is also written like a defense statement. Assured, clarifying and maybe a touch too defensive. And I have been able to completely relate to this at different points in my life.

“I was raging, it was late. In the world my demons cultivate, I felt the strangest emotion. But it wasn't hate, for once.”
