Some songs aren’t just heard—they’re felt. They don’t sit quietly in the background; they demand space, command attention. Demons by All The Young is one of those songs. It doesn’t whisper its way into your mind—it crashes in, uninvited, like a memory you thought you’d buried.
It starts with the guitars—sharp, urgent, a hook that grips you before you even realize what’s happening. Then the drums kick in, steady and insistent, a pulse that refuses to slow down. And before you have time to process it, the vocals hit—melodic yet raw, carrying lyrics that don’t just skim the surface of emotion but dive straight into it.
"Demons" isn’t just about struggle—it’s about the fight. The verses simmer with tension, keeping things tight and restrained, like a thought you’re trying to suppress. But then comes the chorus—explosive, cathartic, built to be screamed into the void. Akin to the kind of moment that makes you want to roll down your car window at 2 AM, let the night air hit your face, and feel something again.
Lyrically, the song treads familiar ground—facing inner battles, confronting ghosts from the past, refusing to let them win. But it’s not cliché. Because here’s the thing: some stories don’t need reinvention, they just need to be told right. And Demons tells it in a way that feels personal, like it already knows the weight you’re carrying.
The production is polished, but not to the point of losing its edge. The sound is big—arena-sized—but never overindulgent. There’s no unnecessary fluff, no overcomplicated breakdowns. It’s just straight-up, no-nonsense, anthemic indie rock—the kind that reminds you why guitars, drums, and a damn good chorus will never go out of style.
Some songs fade into playlists, forgotten after a listen or two. Demons sticks. It lingers. And the next time you’re out alone, headlights reflecting off empty streets, you’ll remember it—because this is the kind of song that was made for nights like that.
