Why don’t you ever get tired of going in circles?
With the release of her fifth track ‘carousel’, Marina Vanoff brings a powerful metaphor about an exciting relationship that has gone stale, comparing the monotonous existence that they live in to a carousel that is still going round and round even though the fun has stopped, with no way of getting off anytime soon.
The track puts a relatable situation in the focus and articulates it in a way that feels authentic and resonating with listeners, with the line “don’t you ever get tired of going in circles” feeling especially poignant and striking a chord with its bluntness. Marina’s indie rock sound provides the track with the kind of hard-edged flair that brings the track to life even further, with the dynamic nature of the guitars and production working seamlessly with her immersive vocals. All in, this track has a really intimate and thoughtful feel to it throughout that speaks on some harsh truths that many relationships find themselves stuck within, and its emotional core and the artist’s raw, unapologetic nature really makes for an engrossing listening experience that is packed full of personality and guile.
