MoMa by Plant Dad begins as a soft, fuzzy guitar humming song with Plant Dad’s delicate, youthful timbre, till the drums give it support for building momentum with the electric guitar riffing to evoke a sense of a climactic rise in the context given by the lyrics.
The song is built around a simple yet evocative guitar riff, augmented by the delicate and intricate interplay between drums and percussion. The vocals are delivered with a soft tone growing more tender with every rising note, which adds to the sense of intimacy and introspection that pervades the track. But what is the track about?
Plant Dad sings of trying to get out of a conversation so that he doesn’t have to hear his partner say, “I think I am meant for it.” The character portrayed is apparently puzzled by a dilemma surrounding his feelings for his partner or admiration. He cognizes his feelings are built around physical beauty, and other than that, he might not be so interested. The character trying to see through this facade to the other person’s inner self poses quite a unique challenge that is hardly ever addressed in music or literature.
The track elevates with a driving bass and drumming beats in the bridge as he volubly vocalizes the character’s frustrations around not wanting to waste his time just to validate his desires. Though his timbre is practically the same throughout the song, his ability to be expressive without diversifying the range is quite a feat in itself. Do check out MoMa by Plant Dad to hear a story from a perspective you might have never heard before.
