reviews
Finding Strength in the Struggle
Lawrence Timoni’s “Good Enough (Still I Try)” is one of those rare songs that manages to take the heaviness of self-doubt and turn it into something strangely liberating. Rooted in Timoni’s background in classical music and jazz, the track feels both carefully sculpted and emotionally raw, weaving shimmering guitars with a driving rhythm that never lets the energy collapse under its own weight.
What makes this single shine is the way it balances intimacy and expansiveness. On one level, it sounds like a late-night confession, the kind of thing you’d play alone when doubts creep in. On another, it bursts open like a festival anthem, ready to be shouted back by a crowd under glowing stage lights. That duality is exactly where its magic lies: vulnerable yet defiant, fragile yet anthemic.
You can hear the fingerprints of influences like Radiohead and Foals in its cinematic atmosphere, but Timoni doesn’t get lost in imitation. Instead, he fuses those textures into a sound that feels personal, a diary turned into a soundtrack. The track’s groove-driven pulse lifts the theme of impostor syndrome into something danceable, almost celebratory, like reclaiming power in the very act of admitting weakness.
“Good Enough (Still I Try)” is more than just a song; it’s a reminder that even in moments of uncertainty, there’s beauty in persistence. It’s catharsis dressed up as a summer anthem, proof that honesty can sound as exhilarating as it feels.
