Tell Me That You’ll Stick Around

Dianas “I’m With You”

Most of this Perth band’s material is focused on guitar, so this piano-centric tune is an outlier. But maybe that shouldn’t be the case going forward, as there’s something about the way these melodies circle the beat that is both gorgeous and sort of unnerving. The vocals are girlish and ghostly, and so high pitched and breathy that the lyrics are almost entirely unintelligible. But despite that, it’s pretty easy to understand the feeling of the song, and this feeling that if you connect yourself to this other person, you won’t feel so totally adrift and confused. I love the way it’s implied that the circular melodies are like this maze, and they’re just trying to get out of it.
