Maybe it’s 2:00 AM and you’re delirious. You’ve got a million things left to do, whether it’s a pile of schoolwork and impossible assignments, or some messy relationships to think about. You’ve gotten to the point where you have to read every word on your glowing screen four times before you can understand it. You’re exhausted, you feel pathetic, you’re stressed and a hopeless mess. You’re on the brink of giving up, but you know you’ve got to persevere to see the sun.
“Stop Your Sobbing” is adamant that you toughen up, and its stubbornly repetitive “Stop it, stop it” will drill into your drained mind like tiny mental slaps to get yourself back on track. Perhaps its short two minutes and five seconds, paired with a nonchalant, almost calming blasé attitude, isn’t enough for you -- don’t worry, you can always play it on repeat until the message gets across. Play this track for yourself when you’re weary, whether of your own or of others’ emotional turbulence.
