YUNGBLUD, Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today | Track Review

YUNGBLUD touts positivity on “Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today,” a short but sweet single from his self-titled, third studio album.

“I

don’t wanna go out today / I wanna lie in bed so that I run away / From what the internet says, all the playground games / Don’t feel like feeling sad today.” Okay, YUNGBLUD, whatever you say! Honestly, though, can’t you identify with his feelings? He continues the chorus of “Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today” as follows: “I don’t wanna go out tonight / I wanna be right here, right by your side / While all the people are cruel, you’re an hour away / Don’t feel like feeling sad today.” The world is a whirlwind, filled with sadness, but Dominic Harrison wants no parts of the bad vibes – it’s all positivity baby!

Two minutes is quite a brief duration for a song of any genre.  While “Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today” lacks duration, there’s no shortage of energy. Also, the quality and sufficient content are there too! YUNGBLUD always brings plenteous personality and attitude to the table.  That’s the case with this advanced single from his third studio album, YUNGBLUD ( September 2, 2022).  Set in a major key, with a quick tempo, Harrison is locked in from the get-go – he’s ready to rock TF out!  He mentions a number of situations that aren’t optimal in both verses, including a prudent observation about politics: “Better pull myself together / How long does it take to figure it out? / The politician ain’t gonna help you / He’s only gonna try and take your house.” Woo! That’s a mic drop!
