Ainsley Costello’s “THEREGOESMY!” is a moving tribute to the unexpectedness and overwhelmingness of falling in love. The words portray vividly through the mind of someone who tries desperately to remain independent but somehow ends up being overwhelmed.

The track opens with a surprise, as Costello cannot believe how she became emotionally involved so fast. Her utterances “Oh I was, I was, I was” in the verse and pre-chorus depict an individual completely overcome by speediness of her feelings. This repetition increases the emotional impact of the song, emphasizing how deeply she understands her situation.

In this chorus section, Costello admits having nurtured “dreams” and “delusions” that allowed her to stay free from others’ influence. “There goes the future in my head” suggests a sudden and dramatic change in perspective for her, as though all her life plans have been shattered by this new romantic relationship.

As well as vulnerability attached when one ceases to control everything they do. For instance; sentences like “I can’t actually remember ever falling before now yet here it is: Top-down jumping into shy blue dark.” Demonstrating a battle between self-preservation instincts versus love attraction.

“THEREGOESMY!” is an artfully told story about surrendering oneself to love; it captures the exhilarating whirlwind that can sweep one off their feet with people they would not expect. Ainsley Costello’s lyrics hit home for those whose lives have been interrupted by unforeseeable human emotions at some point.
