Tonneau's "In My Defense" Maps the Beauty of Unfinished Things

Amsterdam's Tonneau's music doesn't dress up life's messiness, the arguments, the exhaustion, the weird comfort of routine; it just lets it exist as is.

For "In My Defense", Tonneau admits he spent years stuck on this one, with melodies circling around his head. Months would pass, sometimes years, before the right words finally clicked into place. Each verse carries traces of different moments, from work stress to relationship tension to that weird peace that sometimes sneaks up on you when you stop fighting everything so hard.

The real shift here is how stripped down everything sounds. Just voice, guitar, and violin. Tonneau went for something melancholic without being depressing, reflective without getting lost in its own head. Sometimes the best things really are worth waiting for, even if they make you wait a ridiculously long time.

Give "In My Defense" a listen when you need something that understands life's messiness without trying to fix it. Amsterdam's Tonneau has designed something worth your time.
