Now It’s Coming Back

Duster's song 'Now It’s Coming Back' delves into the themes of nostalgia and the passage of time. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing for the past, urging the listener to remember simple, yet profound experiences like feeling one's hand and saying one's name. These small, intimate moments are portrayed as significant, suggesting that they hold a deeper meaning and connection to one's identity. The phrase 'now it's coming back' indicates a resurgence of these memories, bringing back the 'sense of things' that might have been lost or forgotten over time.

The setting of 'Mid July in my mother's house' adds a layer of personal history and warmth to the song. This specific time and place serve as a backdrop for the memories being recalled, highlighting a period when the narrator felt a strong connection with someone else. The mention of 'we knew each other' suggests a deep, perhaps familial or close friendship bond that was significant during that time. The lyrics reflect on how time moves quickly and how relationships and circumstances change, emphasizing the transient nature of life.

The final lines, 'Everyone knows it's good to be so close,' reinforce the value of closeness and connection. Despite the inevitable changes that time brings, the song suggests that the essence of these relationships and moments remains important. Duster's musical style, often characterized by its lo-fi, melancholic sound, complements the reflective and introspective nature of the lyrics, creating a poignant and immersive listening experience.
