Losing oneself in a relationship that’s already broken and fading is a quiet kind of grief, like holding on to smoke with bare hands or watering roots that have forgotten how to grow. And despite many attempts to prevent a person’s anchor of thoughts from drifting deeper, it’ll slip away from heaviness that is already out of reach. This scenario is vividly expressed in a track by Thomas Geelens with his newest single Your Illusions.
Your Illusions genre-blurring track that plays between indie and afro pop. With the staggered percussion accents and subtle yet infectious guitar riffs, the song is deceptively chill, light, and groovy but hides intricate and complex emotional details. The production and arrangement is minimal, which creates space for Geelen’s calm and melancholic tone and voice.
The themes and emotional details are wrapped in clarity, it is a soft declaration of detachment. It does not have any hint of bitterness, it’s mature and calm despite the heartbreak. It perfectly captured twisted visions and hazy truths, a catharsis of emotions that doesn’t need to be loud.
This track is a fresh and significant addition to Thomas Geelen’s discography. Every element layered is intentional and built with care to tell a story. Your Illusion is worth a listen, along with other Thomas Geelen’s works!
