I'm Not Getting Better
DAY 8
"I'm Not Getting Better"
by Marianas Trench
Haven was unquestionably the song I listened to most last year, thanks in no small part to the fact that I picked it for my ill-fated "Invalid Item" attempt. I spent a lot of time listening to this album and trying to figure out a collection of short stories inspired by it. Ultimately, I only completed one story for the collection (about par for the course for me when it comes to Musicology, lol), but this whole album has so many good songs on it.
I had a hard time picking which one to feature for "Invalid Item" .
Each track has a unique sound and I would listen to almost all of them on repeat at different times of the year. By the time my Spotify Wrapped list dropped at the end of 2025, the only one of the thirteen tracks from this album that wasn't on my year-end, most-listened-to playlist was the title track "Haven." Everything else was something I listened to extensively in 2025.
I'm seriously debating whether to give this album another try for Musicology this year, or if I should move on to another album for 2026.
