Dan Auerbach’s vocals, accompanied by haunting harmonies, resonate deeply, drawing listeners into the protagonist’s journey towards nowhere.

Backed by a well crafted arrangement, the track unfolds with layers of instrumentation that contribute to its quality. Moreover, from the pulsating rhythm section to the subtle embellishments of piano and Mellotron, each element enhances the song’s atmospheric allure.
