Unfortified Castle

The chorus of the 1975’s nihilist 2018 lead single provides the only thought of relief… but how relieving is it?

Pulp’s song — framed around a future that’s become the past — makes me grapple with my understanding of time unlike any other.

It's the end of my last break, and a song about being on the road soundtracks the way I feel underneath a calm exterior.

I'd been sitting on this song for a while, never imagining I'd write about it for this reason... but it painfully fits the moment.
