Numb is an incredibly groovy song with relatable and heartfelt lyrics. Written by David Taro, this hit deserves your undivided attention. David is an artist who is half-British and half-Japanese. He creates music based in London that fuses indie pop, rock, and the blues. David participates in a challenge called the February Album Writing Month (FAWM for short) and this year, he created a song rich in melody and catchy hooks. 

Starting with a groovy melody from the percussions, the tone is set for the rest of the song. The guitar riffs accompanied by the piano are clean and work with the other instruments to create a melodic and appealing soundscape. David provides the perfect vocals that complement the song’s classic vibe. In the background, you will hear the backup singers in a chorus adding more depth and layers. Aside from being clean and pleasing, the song’s dynamics are special. There are moments when the instruments will completely drop leaving the vocals alone, while there are parts that they play with each other in sync. As you dive deeper, you’ll understand that the song speaks about the state of the world. Speaking from a first-person perspective, the song narrates the belief in love and good in the world, with contradictions due to society’s tendency to be deprived. Numb is an amazing song, with a classic feel that your body will unconsciously sway to.
