"Where The Pitiful Reside" by Koala Bar is an introspective track that deals with the dark emotions that arise from rejection. This song weaves its poeticism into feelings of resentment with lyrics like "there's more than meets the eye for an eye" at the beginning, delving listeners into ideas of nuances buried under the surface and a need for retaliation. Demonstrating the way these spiteful feelings can age you, beautiful metaphors powerfully work through the track, calling the speaker "a mayfly growing old". This singular dark reflection takes a unique journey through precise turns of phrase that will leave you haunted.
Gloomy & reflective, "Where The Pitiful Reside" will move you with its intimately dark sound. Bold percussion creates an ominous feeling throughout the tune and piano follows the melody of the vocals with a repeating pattern consistent throughout the song. This song is purposely slow, as though the lyrics are haunted by emotion and the past. Soft male vocals bring a hazy sense of reflection to the track what will have you hanging onto every single word. Intense sound effects like the release of compressed air accompany sounds of guitar at the close of the song. On rainy days that you just want to lean into the gloom and darker emotions inside your head, this song will be your solemn companion.
