Have you ever found yourself on a late night drive thinking about how tough life is, but an angelic voice saves you from your deep thought? OGB is that angelic voice.
“Take some time” talks about a relationship that has come to a close but it doesn’t seem like this is the first or the last time this conversation has come up. OGB sings melodically “Are we cutting down the whole tree? Are you serious about this?”. She uses this tree to symbolize the relationship, and in turn invites the listener to truly imagine her lyrics visually. The song continues by diving into OGB’s perspective on the relationship saying “Babe we do this sh*t like clockwork, let’s not play pretend. We do this fighting sh*t a lot, now you trying to make it end.” The lyrics are vulnerable & relatable which gives the song qualities that listeners can attach to. In some ways the song really reminded me of the end of your first love. There are times where you want to call it quits because of an argument and you think maybe something will be different this time if I stay, but deep down you know the best thing is to walk away. I think “Take some time” really covers the break up of the relationship in such a beautiful way that it’s hard not to reflect on past loves.
The song overall is well written with a chorus that is conceptually complex but very simple. She does a very solid job with capturing the aspects of the relationship in both verses and sonically delivers gorgeously.
The song is very recent and only on SoundCloud but she does have a couple more tracks that I think are worth checking out if you like it!
