DEVIN MØRE’s “Tell Myself It’s Fine” isn’t content with simply being a well crafted indie rock track, it insists on being felt. From the first note, it pulses with a controlled urgency that demands attention. This is not background music. It’s the sound of someone standing at the edge of unraveling, whispering reassurances to themselves that no longer hold weight.
The track thrives in contradiction. Its polished production gleams with a deceptive calm, yet underneath lies a sense of barely contained chaos. Layered harmonies and textured guitar riffs shimmer like the surface of a stormy sea beautiful, but full of hidden violence. Each section is tightly wound, carrying the listener through waves of tension that finally crest in a cathartic chorus. When it hits, it doesn’t explode so much as crack open, bleeding anxiety, resignation, and defiance in equal measure.
What sets this song apart is its emotional intelligence. MØRE doesn’t scream for help, he constructs a sonic landscape where inner turmoil and outer collapse mirror each other. His use of autotune isn’t just a stylistic choice, it’s an intentional layer that distances the raw vocal pain, reinforcing the very theme of disconnection that runs through the lyrics. There’s something chillingly effective in hearing a voice sing about hopelessness in such an emotionally flattened tone, it mimics the numbness many feel when the weight of the world becomes too much to carry.
