Until it Snaps

Until it Snaps by Nate Jackson conveys tension. It is that moment before a pulled string breaks, or a tired toddler has a complete meltdown. The opening section slowly builds tension until there is “resolution” to a E7#9 chord. The middle section is less tense but quickly builds back up to that same, heavy tension. As the song comes to an end, the tension is still there, but muted. A sense of resolution is finally conveyed with a major arpeggio, but alas, we again resolve to a E7#9 chord.
