Big_migs Too Fast to Feel It is an interesting mix of being vulnerable and moving fast. This song is full of contrasts. At first it sounds like a fun song you would hear at night. It makes you want to get up and dance. You have to move your body and let the music take over.. If you listen closely you will find that it is actually about being really upset inside. The song is hiding the sadness behind a face and a lot of energy. The song is like that. It is a song that’s happy on the outside but sad, on the inside.

From the start the song sets an emotional tone. There is a difference between what the body is doing and what the mind is going through. Big_mig really focuses on this difference writing lyrics that sound like thoughts coming from the heart. They are real they are now and they are honest. When Big_mig talks about moving jumping, dancing, laughing. It does not seem like a happy time. It seems like Big_mig is trying to deal with things. The song is not about having fun it is, about finding a way to cope. Big_mig is using the music as a way to escape.

The song is really good at talking about anxiety in a way that feels real. It uses words that make you think of feeling tight in your chest feeling nothing and being scared of falling. This gives the song a pretty spooky feeling. It seems like the artist is stuck in a cycle using the beat of the music to take their mind off something that’s not okay. The main part of the song with its na na na” melody is like what people do when they try to block out their own thoughts. It is easy to listen to it just keeps going over and over and it can be kind of hypnotizing. The song and the artist are doing a job of showing what anxiety is like and the music is really good at making you feel what the artist is feeling. The anxiety in the song is what makes it so good.

The music of Too Fast to Feel It is really cool because it has a lot of synthesizers that sound happy and make you want to move. The people who made the song used a lot of things like weird noises and a strong bass that makes you feel like you are going somewhere. The song is fast, on purpose it is like the words are talking about running from being still. The rhythm of Too Fast to Feel It does not slow down it just keeps going and going. That is what the song is trying to say. The beat of Too Fast to Feel It is so fast that you do not have time to catch your breath. That is the whole idea of Too Fast to Feel It.

The music sounds really clean and polished. Every part of it sounds good together. The singing is a little louder than the rest so you can really feel what the words are saying. They also used some effects, like echo and repeat to make it sound like the thoughts are bouncing around in the singers head. The music is easy to get into without being too much which is a cool thing to do. The mastering is clean and polished. That helps the vocals and the music work well together. The mastering and the vocals and the music all sound good.

Big_migs vocal delivery deserves praise. He has a way of singing that sounds really natural. Sometimes he sounds like he is, out of breath which makes the story he is telling sound more real. Big_mig does not try to sing much or pretend to be emotional. He just lets his voice sound tense when it needs to. This makes the parts that are supposed to be really intense feel even stronger. Especially when Big_migs vocals get to the point where they’re almost too much to handle.

The song has it own limitations. The same structure is used over and over. That is good for the theme but sometimes it gets boring. If the song had a bridge or a big change in the music like a part with just a few instruments or a sudden loud part it would be more emotional. The song could also be better if it had another person singing or a different part with someone else rapping that would make the story more interesting and people could understand it from points of view like the song would have more depth and people could see the story from a different perspective.

There is also room for melodic variation. The hypnotic loop is really good, at reinforcing the concept of the song. If the melody changed a bit more people would stay interested when they listen to it again. The song has a message but the music is a bit too safe. It does not try to do anything new in the style of music that the song is in. The song could be better if the music was a bit more exciting; the melodic variation of the song is what is missing.

The song Too Fast to Feel It does what it is supposed to do: it makes you feel something. Even when it talks about being scared of feeling much it still makes you feel things. Big_mig made a song that does not just talk about being anxious. It really’s anxious. It goes like when you panic it sounds like when you are distracted and it stays with you like a thought that you cannot get out of your head.

In the end this song gets what people are going through nowadays. Where people dance not just because they are happy but because they are trying to forget what is bothering them inside.
