A New single From The Victim Depicts of Small Town Life

The Victim dropped a song that depicts small-town life and all the relationships, connections, heartbreaks, and dreams that go along with it. The song paints such an amazing picture for the listener. Describing life in a town that almost all of us feel like we know a piece of, even if you didn't come from a small town.

It's the description that really grabs you. Kids throwing stones in the creek, old men staring through the window at the liquor store, and everything else that goes along with that small town vibe.

Entangled lives, broken promises, all of these elements that interweave us as human beings come alive in the track, and it's such a wonderful way to depict that kind of life.

That's how vividly everything is depicted.

This is one of the biggest draws to the song.

The descriptive storytelling gives a town character. That is what it's all about. This song gives a small town that isn't even named a character. It's putting a personality behind the ideal of a small town, and it's done incredibly well from start to finish.

You find yourself getting attached to this fictional small town ideal, come again, even if you don't come from a small town, this is how you would picture it in your head.

At night, the lights go out, and the town goes to sleep. All is quiet.

There's a certain kind of Innocence behind stories like this one, and the song is able to put that together without a hitch.

You definitely get a grasp of some catchy guitar parts that roll through the song, and it gives it a kind of "Summer of '69" sort of vibe.

The vocals have a lot of heart behind them. It feels like the story is true, and maybe the artist came from that small town, and he's sort of reminiscing, in a way.

Such a big chorus comes into play here. It's very memorable, and the vocals have this distant kind of feel to them. They have a reverb effect to them that makes them feel just bigger. It really lines up with the mood and style of the song incredibly well, and it's something that definitely leaves its Mark.

They're both acoustic and electric guitar incorporated throughout the song so that you can have little subtleties and different kinds of nuances that come in and out, while the acoustic guitars go during one of the choruses towards the end, you can really take in those lyrics even more so.

During the big choruses, though, it is a sing-along. By the time you get to that acoustic chorus towards the end, you know the words and you're ready to sing along.

It's almost like a drinking song. You want to have a drink, reminisce about your past, and envision this small town in your head that's being depicted in the song so well.

I definitely got attached to this one, not because I came from a small town, I didn't. It was more because it gave me such a great depiction of the small town life and everything that is intertwined in it so well.

The way there are love stories that didn't come to fruition, things that would never be said, people that left and never came back.

All those are aspects of that kind of lifestyle, and it was all very well put.

By the time you get to the end of the song, you have spacious synth pads that are giving it a bit of a cinematic sense, and you can sort of feel the emotion that's involved with it all.

Maybe for The Victim, this was a set of memories and understandings from his youth.

Either way, this is not a song you want to miss, so go check this out now, and you'll get a great idea for exactly what kind of pictures are being painted.
