I've got two new songs for this post. Like I said last time, I normally get my songs from Spotify's Discover Weekly, but one piece from this week's collection came from some random shuffle. That is to say, my Discover Weekly this week was actually a bit lackluster (we are exiting the local minima 😔), but let's dive into it!

This electronic piece reminds me a lot of the music you'd hear from places like League of Legends or Valorant. That is to say, it's intensely energetic and hype-ful. I randomly stumbled across this song from shuffle, and it was just too exciting not to like.

To be honest, there's not much to comment on the song itself. It's a pretty standard electronic bop, but they do a really good job of blending the lyrics with the progression of the music. The 'drops' happens at 0:58 and 1:50, and no doubt that they're GREAT. I really like how the second drop eases in with a p crescendo to give it more impact. I'd love to hear this song in a bigger setting, and it's definitely worthy of any workout playlist.

By the way, Die For You is a Valorant song that I think is pretty similar to this one. Though, listening to them two makes me realize how much comparatively more energetic Dead Man Walking is.

Compared to the previous song, I think this one is a bit more idiomatic of my overall music preferences. It's a bit more experimental, and though it's not super chill, it's just fun to listen to.

Guess what word I'm about to use? Ostinato. That's right, this song has another ostinato (at least, I hope I'm using it right lol) that shows up a lot in the beginning and slightly changes shape throughout the song, but helps give the music a defining character. There's two big drops in the song; the first is at 0:25, and the second, bigger one is at 1:48. Similarly to Dead Man Walking, one thing I think the second climax in song does well is that it eases into the all-out with a submerged, muted sound before going full force at 1:52, which hypes it up even more. Overall, both climaxes are chaotic, loud, and buzzy - but they flow and harmonize well and are just really exuberant. Fun!

The only iffy part of the song for me is the ending "augh" sound. Very minor detail, but it brings me back to what I mentioned last week - I feel like these extra, unrelated bits added to the end of any song always make the song worse. I'm a little split here, because it's really minor, but I don't know. It doesn't necessarily sound bad... but I feel like it doesn't really add anything. I'm very curious at what the reasoning was to add such a bit.
