Danny Addison's song "Pheromone" shows how desire for another person can consume you. The speaker of the song confesses all the ways their partner makes them vulnerable with lyrics like "you'll be the death of me" expressing an ultimate power imbalance. The song goes on to prove that the speaker wouldn't have it any other way, offering insights into the control love can have over a person. The lyrics "it's your touch, your taste, your pheromone" bring sensory images of intimacy to mind, and powerfully display attraction all the way to the chemical level. With its message of devotion, this soulful track lets listeners experience the vulnerability of desire.
The slow strumming of an acoustic guitar opens the track as ambient vocalizing joins in. Through the verse, Danny's vocals work at a measured pace as he moves from the high highs to the raspy depth of his range. The singing pre-chorus and chorus lean into the low part of Danny's range, simultaneously airy and deep, which unlocks a suspenseful romantic tone. Percussion, intense and purposeful keyboard notes ringing out through the chorus will make your heart race before the track leans into its powerful instrumentals with electric guitar and drums reflecting the passionate urgency of the lyrics. Truly a song for the lovers, "Pheromone" captures the power of desire and intimacy in its sound.
