Audiogust&#8217;s &#8220;Here We Go Again&#8221; feels like a musical chat with a muse, perhaps even a devil of inspiration who arrives suddenly but always greets especially in the middle of the night. The vocals dominate the mix from the start, raw and Punkish, and arrive a little too fast, like an idea shouted out before it has formed. It&#8217;s an appropriate metaphor, considering the song&#8217;s theme of unexpected invention. The sound eventually follows up, introducing an exciting mix of Pop Punk strength and Alternative Rock\u00a0that falls halfway between Green Day&#8217;s sharp riffs\u00a0and Dave Matthews Band&#8217;s storytelling. Lyrically, the song is well interconnected, switching between unregulated inspiration and uncertain devotion to the creative drive. Lines like &#8220;The cogwheels are click, clicking in my head&#8221; and &#8220;Even at 3 a.m., you whisper rhyming secrets&#8221; describe songwriting as beautiful and stressful. There is a conflict between attempting to &#8220;pretend to understand&#8221; and truly expressing something enigmatic and strong. Musically, it has a clear 2010s vibe: clean but not too sophisticated, nostalgic but not out of date. The chorus is catchy, following an effect of repetition that matches the song&#8217;s theme of cyclical creative bursts: &#8220;Here we go again, just let it in.&#8221; Every syllable symbolizes a theme of struggle between control and chaos. The vocals are a notable, crossing the line between rebellious sarcasm and sincere optimism, giving the whole thing a lived-in realism. There is a conversational tempo that draws the listener in, as if they are being told a secret that is still being discovered. Overall, &#8220;Here We Go Again&#8221; is a smart, catchy, and honest song that reflects the chaotic process of creativity and the unusual familiarity that artists establish with their own inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Here We Go Again\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BqDmPNYrfcM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/track=1656712156\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/audiogust.bandcamp.com\/track\/here-we-go-again-2\">Here We Go Again by AudioGust<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo Credit: AudioGust &#8211; photo by Ernie Sapiro<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/audiogust.com\">https:\/\/audiogust.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/audiogust.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/audiogust.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=61565166866944\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=61565166866944<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Good morning, my friend&#8221; is the first thing we hear, and it&#8217;s a\u00a0pleasant welcome before&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[365,4488,1925],"class_list":["post-26975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-alternative-rock","tag-audiogust","tag-pop-punk-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26975"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26977,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26975\/revisions\/26977"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
