“Vellichor” tells the tale of nostalgia, using the past as a drug to combat todays pains. Defined as the “smell of old bookshops”, “Vellichor” is the apt title of the track as the feeling created when you think of old book shops is nostalgic, with the smell of old emotions and the passing of time.
The protagonist of the story is distraught and unhappy at the way in which their life has turned out. Longing for the olden days or previous times in life, they are horrified at the world as it is today. Having no greater meaning than today, the song was penned during lockdown with the world changing before our very eyes and bringing even more relevance to the song and the longing for seeking solace in the past.
“Vellichor” has a classy arrangement with the right amount of bass drops to set hearts racing whilst being filled with soaring guitars blended with pulsing synths. With the music representing its title as the band create a sound for today which very much reflects to their heritage, The Trusted control the song perfectly with a cool electro feel throughout. With the recently created word “Vellichor” utilised, the band's powerful then gentle interchange between the refrains and the driving rhythm showcase the songs unique lyric, encapsulating the sense of dissatisfaction at ones life and the passing of time.
