‘God Damn‘ by Love Ghost and ND Kobi’ is an alternative/indie track that communicates a slow, grating vulnerability reminiscent of “Lucid Dreams” by JuiceWRLD.
Love Ghost is a genre-blending alternative rock band from Los Angeles, California. They describe themselves as an “alternative rock band with hip-hop elements.” They combine genres like rock, grunge, metal and emo to tackle themes of trauma and mental health. This is evident in their latest collaboration with ND Kobi’, “God Damn”.

How ‘God Damn’ Keeps You Immersed
Like ‘Lucid Dreams’ by Juice WRLD, ‘God Damn’ features moody cascading guitars over a pulsating trap rhythm. At the same time, its lyrics clearly express an internalised struggle with a quiet resolve. The refrain, “I’m trapped inside of my mind” highlights this struggle, while emphasising the track’s melancholy.
With its raspy grit, Ghost’s (Finnegan Bell’s) vocal performance adds a sort of grated vulnerability that feels hard to escape from. The vocals feel as if they cut through you with their grating insistence. ND Kobi’s verse on the song smoothly counters this with a more subdued tone. When translated, his lyrics reflect on and verbalise his looping thoughts. This, in turn, seems to add more perspective and depth to the song.
There is a longing for a life outside an isolating mind-loop throughout ‘God Damn’. This adds an inescapable allure to the track. The pull is quiet, immersing the listener in a soundscape that shows them their thoughts.
‘God Damn’, with its lucid mood, melancholy tone and grating vulnerability attempts to keep the listener immersed in its quiet allure.
