"Random Words" - song info;
"Random Words" is an upbeat track about wanting to run away with someone and wanting to run away from someone but not being able to do either. It's the push and pull of emotions, where big feelings come out in small sentences.
The single shows a growing sound while staying true to Antanna's storytelling. The song features bright acoustic guitar, steady drums, and an earworm chorus. "Random
Words" is indie folk with a pop edge, giving a song that feels light on the surface but carriesreal tension underneath.
