Featured Tune: "Ride" from Gintsugi

reviews

The latest song “Ride” by Gintsugi is a beautiful blend of their pop-art style music and melodious vocals. The whole composition of this song is hypnotizing. From the way she sings with her angelic voice and the nostalgic background music. The music is made to pull you into a trance that you cannot escape.

The song explores the themes of having a war in your mind. She sings about many things in this song. It has a tired feeling to it. It’s like someone has been trying hard to get themselves together and they are tired at this point.

She sings about how she ‘just rides’ because it feels like you can’t do anything about it. She is also asking someone to stay, to not leave her, because she has been through a lot. But despite that plea, it feels like she is still in the middle of that war.

It’s a common notion when we go for a ride to clear our minds. She also says that she just keeps riding to push back that war in her mind. Overall this song is a masterpiece because it is relatable to almost all of us. We all go through many struggles on a daily basis that we don’t talk about. Sometimes we need someone to be there for us during our hard time. And sometimes, in the absence of people, we ride to keep our demons at bay.

This song has captured this essence perfectly. The whole concept, combined with the musical composition gives it a sad and dreamy vibe. And Gintsugi’s vocals are just on point for this vibe. To summarize, this is the song you come back to again and again.
