The song explores the different aspects of enjoying a party, connecting with small textural experiences like filling up a plastic cup to huge themes like finding new friends all night and a general sense of togetherness. The lyrics convey the theme of life being short and to have fun while the opportunity is there. There is a palpable sense of abandonment of normality. People’s regular lives are suspended while they embrace the joy and chaos of dancing freely.
The guitar is a key sonic symbol of that freedom at the core of the track’s theme. It has a crisp electricity that cuts through the mix, again infusing the track with a contagious sense of energy. The guitar solo in the latter half of the track is a brilliant change of pace that explores new aspects of the song’s melody while not feeling disconnected from the overall timbre of the track. It is executed with dexterity but also an emotional core which implies a shared vision from the group. They all understood the attitude they wanted to convey. It walks the line of energy without ever coming across as aggressive or heavy - a challenging feat using that instrumentation. The vocals interact with the guitar beautifully. The grit and candid nature of the vocals contrast with the fiery guitar part. The vocals ground the guitar and the guitar elevates the vocals, each element is better off with the juxtaposition of the other.
This piece is exactly what we need right now. It is a lighthearted and joyous escape from reality.
