Laveda crafts the build of “Troy Creeps” expertly with the minimal guitar riffing and steady drum beat with electronic swirls in the background while the vocals carry the emotional weight of the song. It’s a song about complex feelings and the intricacies of social interactions and relationships with a real insight into how things can get messy when your heart has overlapping loyalties and burdened with uncertainties and all colored by past experiences that mean everyone comes to every situation with assumptions and emotional scars and trauma that can completely dictate every situation unless you take the time to talk them out some and not act on impulse. This simple song with its emotionally charged yet elegantly crafted melody does justice to that everyday reality that often goes overlooked and isn’t often the subject matter of pop songs that focus on love and life as something that is part of our minds with absolute clarity. It’s a realistic song about how we are and we we can extend that understanding to others if we approach each other with honesty and integrity.
