Fellow nomads, rejoice. I kind like the simplicity of the lyrics, they're to the point, no room for wrong interpretations, without really being dull, and they also tell a story.
In terms of the music, I like that it starts with this kind of "major chord" fanfare of sorts, like you would see in classical music or soundtracks. I also like the bridge section which prevents the song from getting stale. And the double chorus at the end.
That change of voice specially in the very last chorus from the edge of falseto into the normal voice (I think it's called "chest voice"?) while sustaining the same breath is pure gold.
There's a touch of Freddie Mercury in his voice here.
Anyway, I listened to this song more times than I'm willing to admit and I never get tired of it.
And now for opinions:
When Devin attempts to be "emotional" or "deep" I think it's when the most stupid cringeworthy lyrics come out. He doesn't really have that depth of insightfulness to be able to get away with that stuff. I think he's much better when he focus on the "simple" stuff like this one.
In short: "Fuch you, Dev!" What a douche... xDDD
