<em>'redemption tour'</em> is a song I come back to over and over again.
</p>
<p>
Encountering the song for the first time was a beautiful experience. I
fell in love with the production and atmosphere of the song instantly.
</p>
<p>
Every subsequent listen still remains an unmatched minute and 40
seconds. During which a warm feeling within my chest, underneath where
the ribs meet to create the sternum, glows. I find that
<em>'redemption tour'</em> is a track absolutely bursting with
sincerity; as if it is daring you to drop all preconcieved notions of
irony, detachment and worries of coming off as 'cringe' through
modelling it to you itself. An approach I adore.
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
I rarely listen to this track once. I always make sure to queue it up at
least 2 times and would gladly repeat it into the double-digits. I
thought, maybe, to express the short length as a fault of the song,
though - after some thought - I feel it to be a good choice: as it is
somewhat repetitive, the track does not over-stay its welcome. One can
always invite it in again. Like I do, always.
</p>
<p>
It is a track that sits remarkably well in the negative-space within any
emotional state I am in:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Sadness</b> has me focus on the warbled and stretched notes she
sings as though they are near-faltering, lornful cries; and the
downward trajectory of the two-chord piano progression which makes me
feel heavy with each strike;
</li>
<li>
<b>Happiness</b> accentuates the beautiful interplay of the
<i>piano</i>, <i>pad</i> and <i>vocal runs</i>. The sung notes take on
a joyous, intimate and earnest quality that I can't help but fall in
love with;
</li>
<li>
<b>Tiredness</b>, in the morning or before I sleep, either renews my
excitement for the start of a day or grounds my body in the joy of
warmth and comfort under the covers, in anticipation of the coming
sleep.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
As I write this, I discover there are lyrics listed on her
<a
target="_blank"
href="https://klein1997.bandcamp.com/track/redemption-tour"
>
Bandcamp release of the track</a
>, which is an exciting discovery: I have spent many listens to this
track singing while emulating the pitch and quality but not knowing, for
sure, very many of the actual lyrical phrases.
</p>
<p>
All-in-all, <em>'redemption tour'</em> is a track that enhances the
experience of <i>the moment</i>. Whatever it is I am to feel, this track
is sure to multiply and encourage me to experience the happening in full
sincerity. <br />
Something, I find, to be so very important in our current world full of
irony-poisoning.
