Franko Elvis minces no words with the title of his song “I Worry All The Time.” With shades of tone and delivery reminiscent of Viva Hate-period Morrissey or Magnetic Fields this song waxes tenderly melodramatic and makes use of sound elements beyond the obvious synth, guitar, bass, drums and vocals. The reverb on the vocals and the female backing vocals paired with the cadence of the song share similar influences from the Gold Star Studios production style of the 1960s giving the song a sense of being out of normal time. It’s a heartfelt/heartbroken appeal to one’s love to be allowed to stay and have some relief from the worry and insecurities arising therefrom. Is the song a bit of a dream? It does end with the sounds of birds tweeting in the end like something you’d hear in the morning on a spring day so maybe this song informed by being on the fence about sadness and happiness if neither is genuine ends on a hopeful note.
