“Cure”

“Cure” is an energetic, upbeat ballad that showcases the band’s incredible talent for creating unifying music. Strategically placed halfway through the repertoire, “Cure” acts as a centerpiece and defines the overall message of the album. The lyrics voice a call to action for listeners to stop overthinking their weaknesses and start enjoying life by “feeling the world.” A catchy and simple “oh” sung by the choir is easy to pick up on and sing along to, bringing together listeners in “healing the world”. Through exciting, expressive instrumentation and simple lyrics, “Cure” resonates with its audience by instigating the next step to recovery, letting go and enjoying the freedom of healing.
