Porter Robinson - Goodbye to a World It's a fun song since it's electronic and dance. There's not even many lyrics, but at the same time it manages to be a very emotional song. It genuinely makes you feel like you're at the end of a world.
The absolutely achingly long build up invokes such strong tension and vivid mental imagery of the end of some fantastical world, the end of a story. And then the final chorus hits like a truck: the final, thunderous cry of a world at its end. Then all is stripped away and you're left with a half-broken voice singing the same refrain, and it's truly over.
Porter Robinson is a musical storytelling genius!
