Avery Lynch’s latest single “the boys who don’t know what they want” delves into the all too familiar aftermath of someone ending a relationship they couldn’t commit to. There was once a time where those sweet nothings felt like they meant something. He held your attention in ways that made you feel desired. You craved being wanted a certain way, but he couldn’t bring themselves to pursue you any further. While looking back, all of his actions seemed so close to yet so far from committing. He just barely etched out enough space for you to be present in his life. He talked to you until morning while making you feel loved just enough. He asked you surface level questions about who you are, only to forget your answers within days.
It’s a way of loving that you no longer wish to be part of. You crave boys who want more than the initial talking stage and want to give you all of themselves.
“the boys who don’t know what they want” is an adult contemporary piano-centric single that remains central to its foundational slow piano. From its first few notes, it is clear that this single rarely deviates from the piano. Each soft vocal works in tandem with the simple notes of this slow ballad. There are elements sprinkled in throughout other than piano, but they serve as its companions. Atmospheric reverb tunes in and out, most prominently throughout the chorus and pre-choruses. These instances of modulation simply highlight and elongate both the piano and Avery’s sweet vocal performance. This single never truly strays far from its foundational elements and maintains a grounded musical experience.
