The Trampoline Delay / "The Right Stuff"

 

The Skinny Review:
"The Right Stuff" is the second single from The Trampoline Delay's upcoming album, Tandem Bike. An immediate earworm, this song features an infectious whistle and a pop-forward melody, making it the perfect indie anthem for the summer months. Fair warning before pressing play below: this will be stuck in your head.

In Their Own Words:
““The Right Stuff” dives into the complex theme of love and loss amidst the turbulent journey of life. It’s a raw reflection on how external pressures can wreak havoc on relationships—temptations, the daunting transition into adulthood, and the fear of losing one’s identity all play a role. Sometimes, we find ourselves at a crossroads, torn between making the right decision and succumbing to impulsive choices with lasting repercussions.

At its core, the song delves into the aftermath of a regrettable decision and the need for redemption. However, beyond the surface, it’s an introspective exploration of life’s pressures, the weight of regret, and the awakening to what truly matters. It captures the essence of emotional turmoil and the consequences of acting on fleeting impulses, ultimately leaving scars on all involved.
To be honest, I wrestled with the decision to include ‘The Right Stuff’ on the record, fearing it might veer too close to the realm of poppy love songs. Yet, in the end, I realized I needed to purge and felt I owed it to both myself and the person it was written for. Releasing it in this form felt incredibly cathartic.
