But zoom in a little closer and you’ll hear vocalist Clemens Rehbein giving us the straight dope as he ruminates on the frustrating cycles between love and loneliness. Contrary to what the title may suggest, the commitment seems to make the “bad things” disappear. Milky Chance’s bright, breezy acoustic pop comes dipped in liquid synths, evoking a laidback life one would imagine far away from the duo’s central Germany hometown of Kassel. Neither side seems to be focused on the destination, but rather enjoying the journey with each other. The track is unique with the featuring of Izzy Bizu’s vocals, and portrays a relationship that seems to be running out of time.
While “Stay” focuses on his realization he may have caused too much trouble and there is little hope for his love to stay, “Cocoon” attempts to find a sacred place for them to heal and mend their connection.Īmid various themes within tracks, “Bad Things” seems to stand out from them all. “Cocoon” and “Stay” discuss the idea of past mistakes and Rehbein’s willingness to make up for them. Although Rehbein seems confused after hearing rumors, he becomes aware of the necessity to confirm his love for a certain someone. “Losing You” shows another familiar circumstance of false information being passed around.
“Peripeteia,” defined as a reversal of a certain fortune or change in desirability, describes the typicality of “losing sensitivity” and becoming unwilling to love or accept love. The band also takes time to reflect on contemporary society and undesirable factors that are often encountered.
