Worth of a Soul

It's like a news feed, but with beats and bass - anxiety woven into the rhythm. The scenes seem like they're from someone else's life, but they're all too familiar: screens are plastered with headlines, adults say ‘everything will be fine,’ and children learn to carry bulletproof vests in their backpacks. The music does not comfort - it stings, argues, hits a raw nerve, turning the helpless ‘that's the way the world is’ into a blow to the nerves. The irony is bitter, like morning coffee without sugar, but it invigorates more than one would like.
