Why do we like this?

Before I even read the title of this song I knew it was about loneliness. An empty void left behind when the box of Oreos contains no more Oreos. The loss of your favorite jacket as winter picks up.

This woody canzone also plays host to romantic undertones. Generally everything revolves around love in some form, so this doesn't really come as much of a surprise. 

Lonely flavored love always amounts to a powerful '80s synth ballad. Spurned by such, Lycra is almost inevitable. This is a powerful tonic, be sure you drink this track with caution.

Tonic Recipe:

Loneliness + Love = '80s synth ballad = Lycra
