“G.T.F.O” by Perry Ripley is an emotionally charged and introspective indie track that relates to those who have tried to undo a breakup but ended up undoing themselves. Perry Ripley, a Brighton-based independent singer-songwriter, showcases this upheaval with a moody and explicit anecdotal and how that climbs into his mental state.
The track is characterized by sultry, revving guitar hooks and indie drum loops that create an ambient, minimal soundscape and put his deep vocals to the forefront of the song. The subtly raw approach to songwriting allows the emotions and lyrics to take center stage.
What sets “G.T.F.O” apart is its narrative perspective. The song is written from the inner monologue of someone who, despite knowing that going back to a past love is a bad idea, can’t help but be drawn back to that person. Ripley’s reflection on the lingering emotions and the pull of nostalgia is captured eloquently through his lyrics. And so it’s highly relatable in the modern dating spectrum.
The song’s production is well-executed, balancing the murky atmosphere with Perry’s cutting-edge tone of his emotive and resigned vocals. The suspenseful and teetering alternative electro-rock sound offers a refreshing chill to the genre.
“G.T.F.O” encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences with lost love and the internal struggle of moving forward. So listen to Perry Ripley’s innermost turmoils in “G.T.F.O,” as he showcases his musical talents and provides a relatable and introspective perspective.
