The wall of guitars is rich and layered, rhythm parts grounding the song while swirling leads drift overhead, giving the whole thing a traveling, forward moving spirit that mirrors the song&#8217;s stunning music video, shot entirely from the perspective of someone riding a bicycle. The vocals are tender and emotional, never overreaching, landing every moment with a restraint that makes the feeling hit harder. There is something genuinely rare about a song that works equally well in gratitude or in sorrow, but &#8220;Wasted&#8221; pulls it off because it never tells you how to feel. It simply moves, and takes you with it. One of the most affecting songs you will hear this year.</p>
