Backstrom has recently unveiled his inaugural album titled “The Carousel,” and in this article, our spotlight is on the title track. “The Carousel” elevates the tempo while maintaining a dark and moody atmosphere. The vocal delivery exudes confidence as the singer narrates a tale delving into someone’s mental health struggles, cleverly using the haunting imagery of an inescapable carousel. The lyrics paint a bleak picture, expressing the songwriter’s lack of optimism about the grim situation: “Sticks and stones and broken bones, tricks and games, around it goes, The world is spinning like a carousel, you can’t get off. You better hang on because it won’t stop.” There is a palpable sense of despair with no apparent end in sight. Musically, this is a standout track with great songwriting. Enjoy it on Spotify now:
