Peyton McMahon´s “No Control” is a song about anxiety. Like a gentle breeze weaving through the branches of a tree, delicate voice lines intertwine over the sturdy framework of a pop structure. The solid percussion texture provides a foundation akin to the roots of a mighty oak tree, while the soft melodic development is reminiscent of delicate petals slowly blooming in a garden. The artist learnt to deal with it through art, this song, in this case. As he says: overthinking can be “frustrating and makes things harder than they need to be, and it can sometimes feel like an endless cycle, so I wrote this song to vent about it.”
