Unfortified Castle

Zedd's serene house-pop production featuring Troye Sivan was the first track of its kind that impressed me with the greater story it told.

I'd been sitting on this song for a while, never imagining I'd write about it for this reason... but it painfully fits the moment.

Depeche Mode's most successful song is an inner monologue, formed in a moment when the outside world is quiet.

It's a fitting song to soundtrack my return home... but that's a pretty new way for me to approach it.
