Song of the week 002: “Cringe”- Matt Maeson (2017)

This weeks song is Cringe by Matt Maeson. I chose this song as a reflection of my week, as I’ve been feeling really down for the past couple days; emotionally, physically, and mentally. I heard this song for the first time a couple weeks ago and I’ve fallen in love with it and hearing it makes me feel a little better. Favourite lyrics:

“Lover come over,

Look what I done.

I’ve been alone so long,

I feel like I’m on the run.

Lover come over,

Kick up the dust.

I got a secret,

Starting to rust.”

I love the use of the line “starting to rust” as in the author of the lyrics feels as though he’s been alone for so long that he’s beginning to form rust, like an old piece of iron left to outside to endure the elements.

I think this is song is both well written and upbeat, and It is currently my favourite new discovery.
