Drawing us in with intricate keys and guitar arpeggios, Love Ghost and ND Kobi’ open their collaborative single, God Damn, with atmospheric vocals and an introspective nature with the lyrics, “Cos I’m trapped inside of my mind… Sometimes, I love how it feels dangerous…”
The vocal production is sublime, something that we have come to expect from Love Ghost, but truly the echoes have us in our feels, amplified by a million. We love it when Finnegan Bell shares his soul with us, he is truly an artist that has the versatility to go from baddie to bestie in a heartbeat.
The visionary frontman tells us how the song is about “feeling paralyzed in your own mind”, which is a super relatable theme, and in turn, God Damn allows us to process this in synch with the creators, and manifest a sense of healing.
God Damn offers a profound catharsis, resonating deeply with those of us who have experienced similar struggles. Love Ghost‘s music has a unique ability to convey emotions in a way that words alone cannot, tapping into the depths of human experience and offering solace to those of us who feel trapped.
One of the most significant emotional benefits of God Damn is validation. For individuals grappling with mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts, the lyrics and melodies serve as a poignant acknowledgment of one’s inner turmoil. Hearing our experiences reflected in music provides a sense of validation and reassurance us that we are not alone in our struggles.
