Rigmarole / Here + Now
BY WILL POPE
28TH FEBRUARY 2025 • SINGLE • REV465
Speaking about the track, Pope describes it as a reflection on the way we construct personal narratives to bring order and meaning to our lives. The song delves into the fragmented nature of memory—how much of our experiences are lost over time, and how our sense of identity, both past and present, often remains unclear. It contrasts the meandering, often chaotic reality of lived experience with the simplified, curated versions of ourselves we present on social media or consume in the broader media landscape.
The narrator is imagined scrolling through a reel of old photos, barely recognizing the places or people they've been tagged with—until a familiar face appears: someone remembered fondly, standing out against the dull monotony of their present-day life.
