專輯開頭的三首歌〈Lately〉、〈I Miss That〉和〈Okay〉,都在敲打的鼓聲和合成器上重複著相同的話,甚至〈Okay〉的副歌就是由 16 次的「Okay」組成,這也是近年來 #AaronMaine 創作歌曲的習慣,但不同於上一張《#RickyMusic》中像咒語般的氛圍,這張專輯更像是把重複的吟唱,作為情感鋪陳和表達的方式,在每一句相同的歌詞上起伏堆疊。
在〈Back3School〉當中 Aaron Maine 將自己切割成兩個角色,一個是準備回去上學的男孩,另一個是已經有家庭和小孩的丈夫,他嘗試將他的不安和未來可能的幸福混合,或許根本不需擔心內心潛在的焦慮,或許一切都會很好,但戛然而止的結尾卻發出像音響故障的聲響,Aaron Maine 焦慮與希望交錯的腦內思緒,似乎透過歌曲,和聽著歌曲的我們相互發酵。
All Day Gentle Hold ! is the fifth album from Aaron Maine and a celebratory collection of songs. Harder, faster, shorter and louder than any other Porches record, its direct and pointed, charged up and chaotic, described by Maine as “the most energetic, off-the-cuff moments, collaged together into the most captivating songs [he] could make.”
