Another memorable track from Luke Sweeney, “Subsidize Our Rent” pairs an playful rock pulse with lyrical insight on true success — playing as a tribute to the working class, celebrating small moments of happiness and connection through music and shared experience. “It’s a little lonely here at the top,” Sweeney’s vocals ring out, referencing the soulless existence of billionaire sycophants, while clanging keys and bluesy guitar touches bolster into the “big time events” rock-friendly hook. “Subsidize Our Rent” is another songwriting success from Sweeney, impressing on past tracks like “Probably Me” and his gorgeous album Rishi.
