One listen.

I’ve wanted to hold off on writing about this song because I want to write about the album as a whole. It took a long time to get a hold of it, but I don’t know how long it will take for me to get to covering it, so here’s writing about one of the songs.

Got in the zone toward the end. Rushed through, wrote something super loose and messy, but this is one I’m pretty happy about because it does cover the song pretty well.

Lake’s “Jettison” is from Lake.

I hope you enjoy

Bass rumbling and charging with a calm intensity. Percussion comes in, striking hard, repeatedly, loud and quiet all the same. Guitar eventually joins, playing light notes, seemingly sinewy, seemingly terse. It too rumbles.

The sounds layer over each other through a muffled darkness, uncertain, unsure, stressed almost. Focused and moving through menace.

The rhythm remains steady; the guitar shifts forms, changing the feel whilst remaining anchored. It pulls away; the percussion shifts. More space, but it still feels cramped. It feels urgent and pressing, and there’s no breathing, almost.

But in all of this, there still is a calm. There is a drive and a desire to keep on moving; everything gets heavy and twisted and dark. Sounds move around each other, circling whilst moving forward. Linking, finding places of familiarity, and it soon all comes to a head.

Everything is driving forward, pushing on, urging, escaping. Finding the space, pushing into the dramatic, charging, thundering on forward, growing, making a statement, pushing to that final moment. Heavy release, thunder, strikes, emphasise and finally, getting there, finding relief, getting out from all the pressure and finding that relief, and letting go with a definitive statement as the song ends.
