(First Reaction: This is one of those interesting songs where I'm having a hard time getting a read on how much I like it. The beat throughout the song is incredibly prominent, which does normally hold songs back... but I like the band's 80s synthwave style enough that I'm fairly enjoying this song anyway.
Oh, I feel you
Your nails still pressing down hard
On me, on me, on me
Ill take what I can get cause I'm scared I might forget
I also rather like that last line. As someone whose memories can be a bit fragmented at times, I can understand treasuring any memory you have of someone because it's the only one you have left. I think I'll put this song into the "I like this" tier for now; the beat is holding it back somewhat, but it's got an enjoyable sound and a lyric that I'm really drawn to, so it should be a notch above all the songs in the Nebula.)
Good song. It feels like I should be against it; fairly reliant on repeating a long chorus, her vocals are occasionally hard to make out as they're so soft & drowned out by the music, and there is an unmistakable beat that overpowers every other note in the song... but... I really do quite like this. This type of synthwave is just easy to enjoy and I'm more attached to the lyrics than I would have expected.
[Later: I really like this song tonight. I do wish the beat were less pronounced than it is, but... I think I can live with it,]
[Later-er: This song has a very nice synth vibe to it. I really like it.]
