"Lonely Days" by Shane Rennison is a song painted with internal conflict, explaining the difficulty of letting go of a relationship that was riddled with pain. Boldly calling out their ex for uncomfortable tension in their interactions, the speaker of the song says, "I started feeling pressure the moment that you called." Allowing listeners to look within their own relationships, this song emphasizes the need to acknowledge stress and strains in their own relationships. Simultaneously understanding the need for separation and feeling the hurt of missing someone they loved, the speaker shares the way their mind lingers on their past partner. This song stands in solidarity with anyone going through post-breakup insecurity with its message: just because you can't stop thinking about someone doesn't mean they are the right person for you.
This track blends an indie storytelling style with ambient dark alt-pop emotion that fans of The Weeknd will love. An engaging electronic loop of soft percussion and a twinkling high note pattern open the track before bass chords kick in, painting the song with a dark alt-pop vibe. Breathy and questioning through the verse, layered vocals expressively draw you into the scene of pressure and longing carried through the lyrics. Resonant high note patterns and Shane's haunting, ambient singing offers a deep, pensive sonic experience that is beautifully melancholy, full of romantic curiosity and lovestruck sadness.
