“Laugh on Me” opens with such an innately calming and soothing energy, a meditative and sedative atmosphere. The song is a plea for divine intervention and catharsis, a heartfelt exploration of the human experience, filled with longing, vulnerability, and the desire for purification.
TaughMe’s plea to higher powers is palpable in the lyrics, asking to be lovingly obliterated and laid bare. The depth of emotion is conveyed through his performance, a gentle surrender and willingness to expose his innermost secrets. There’s something achingly visceral and raw about the whole experience.
The song’s structure is dextrously crafted to reflect the emotional journey it seeks to convey. The abrupt pause after three verses, followed by the saxophone’s solitary performance, creates that moment of reflection and anticipation, highlighting that yearning for something greater.
In entirety, it feels truly like an odyssey, a journey that’s being conveyed both through the words being performed with sincerity and openness and elevated by a musical background that almost through its aural conception gives a visual narrative for your mind to wander to.
Hauntingly divine.
