Swedish artist Boy With Apple has released a new melancholic shoegaze song titled “GBG Hills” and it makes me want to frolic around in the sun. The feelings I get from this song resemble the weather cooling down, the sun beaming, and the wind brushing up against my face. The song is bright, which is ironic because the lyrics in the song speak about being alone and dancing with darkness and death.

“You'll never understand

all of the reasons I have

I wrote a list in my hand

of all the hills I'll die at.

You'll never get why

I always feel alone

or why you make me cry

I tell no one but my phone”

Although the lyrics are sullen, the band hopes that their music can “create a mesmerizing world of eternal sunlight touching your face, long embraces from someone you love, and unconditional comfort.”

This song gives me comfort in the despairing emotions of the track; it resembles the sound of artists like Cocteau Twins and Slowdive, which make me happy and sad depending on the mood. This track has touched my soul and heart; will it touch yours?
