ttypes Celebrates “Building A Life” Rather Than Staying Stuck in a Relationship That Erodes You From the Inside

There comes a time in many people’s lives when the creeping realizations of having lived a life of tolerating abuses big and small, the emotional betrayals and those of trust, become impossible to ignore. “Building A Life” by ttypes puts that transformation into a catchy pop song that perfectly weds AM radio pop of the 60s and 70s with self-aware noise rock. If you don’t pay too much attention to the lyrics it sounds so much like a hopeful, uplifting, summertime indie hit. And it might be argued that it is exactly that but not one essentially devoid of content. The decision to leave the relationship has been made and a sense of excitement heading toward psychological freedom and actual happiness is palpable in the song. The headlong momentum is joyful and the feeling of a weight having lifted off is palpable. Could the title be more appropriate and wanting to build a life rather than getting stuck in one that doesn’t truly nurture you as a person?
