Serge & The Currents end this breakup on an upbeat and playful note with a musical setting of "This Too Shall Pass." Beneath the laid-back veneer, though, there is a melancholic story of looking backward while trying to move forward. It's "a mid-life heartbreak song," Sergio Ercole said, and that honesty gives the track its emotional weight. The memories, the regrets, the attempts to keep walking create a feeling that is messy, yet recognizable. The song doesn't pretend that heartbreak will go away overnight, but finds hope in going ahead anyway. Bittersweet, but not too heavy, which makes resilience refreshingly human.
