like i get it, the desert is vast and empty and probably makes people feel small or whatever, but every time i hear one of those tracks it's all 'oooh the sands of time' and 'the endless horizon whispers secrets' and i just wanna yell 'it’s a pile of dirt and rocks, calm down.' dont get me wrong, i like a good atmospheric tune now and then but it’s like they’re contractually obligated to be deep. cant we just have a song about, idk, tripping over a cactus or something? not everything has to be a metaphor for finding yourself. sometimes the desert is just hot and annoying and full of bugs. anyway if youve got recs for desert songs that *dont* go full enlightenment mode, im all ears.
okay but why do so many songs about the desert sound like they're trying to sell you on some spiritual awakening
