Jacqueline Tucci – “Burning Out”
The time honored tradition of the burn out has never sounded very nice, but Jacqueline Tucci has changed that with their latest tune “Burning Out.” A stripped down intro gives way to garage-influenced pop punk distortion and continues to oscillate between the two feelings. Tucci commiserates with us, the listener, and plays around with the dual meaning of burning:
I know I’m not the only one who feels like I’m running towards the sun
I feel myself burning up, I’ll be burning out in no time
Oh, but there must be another way
I used to sit in the sun all day
I think I used to like the heat
I think there’s still some time for me after all
There’s a sliver of hope too, “I think there’s still some time for me after all,” and while it easily could have been some gallows humor, I chose to understand it as hope… Because we could all use a bit of that now and then, eh?
You can hear “Burning Out” embedded below from Tucci’s Soundcloud, as well as Spotify to incorporate into your millennial malaise mix (I know I did)!
