Air Traffic Controller - This is Love

You're no good and you could kill me and you should. I'm an idiot for thinking this is anything but blood... Pretty dramatic lyrics for a song about love don't you think?

But my love, fuck it, This is Love

Air Traffic Controller steers you through a cinematic airway that fuses pop heavy leading vocals and percussion fit for a Nolan film in one of my most replayed songs of 2023 so far. I will admit I am late to the game on ATC since the song I am writing about is on an album released from 2016, however because the song dropped into my lap recently and have been head over heels with it ever since.

Shut up, this is love.

For your best listening experience I recommend turning the volume all the way up to 11 while driving home at night when the roads have just been covered in light precipitation and the street lights have an ominous halo below the bulbs or if you have the ability to take the aux in a movie theatre with Dolby surround sound and have them fire up the old Windows XP music visualizer on the big screen, you will want to play this song on repeat unless the popcorn bucket is empty.

Air Traffic Controller highlights the intense passion two lovers can experience when trauma bonding is the initial glue that holds the couple together. Vocalizing abuse from childhood and conflict of loving so much it hurts is weaved throughout this piece I can only call a dreadfully beautiful duet of wrong and right.

Check out Air Traffic Controller on my Small Time, Big Sounds Playlist that I recently edited the threshold to encompass artists I have found that have a monthly listener count of fewer than 500k.
