Pretty Average – “All I Wanted, I Forgot” | Between Nostalgia and the Noise of Starting Over

Arriving in a new city while carrying a wounded heart means learning how to live with what has been left behind. “All I Wanted, I Forgot,” one of Pretty Average’s earliest songs as a band, turns that experience of displacement into a piece where fragility and noise move together. Candy’s sweet voice cuts through a wall of distorted guitars, creating a tension that keeps building until every element seems to collide. Within that sonic excess, the track finds a way to represent the difficult process of leaving an earlier version of yourself behind.

“All I wanted, I forgot” captures the song’s central contradiction: forgetting something once deeply desired can feel like a loss, but it can also be evidence of how profoundly circumstances have changed you. The new city represents uncertainty and possibility at once, while the dreams and wounds of the past remain part of the emotional baggage. The transformation is never presented as clean or uncomplicated; nostalgia and vulnerability remain present even as the narrator moves toward something undefined.

A Sweet Voice Against a Wall of Distortion

Shoegaze, indie rock, and alternative rock converge through dense guitars and a raw production approach. Recorded live and produced entirely by the band, the track retains a physical quality that makes its escalation feel immediate. Candy’s voice acts as a counterweight to the surrounding noise, while the accumulating layers lead toward a final collision of melody, distortion, and intensity.

Leaving Something Behind Means Becoming Someone Else

The ending does not neatly resolve the conflict; it pushes it toward saturation. That choice suits a song about leaving behind a city, old desires, and an earlier self. What remains is not a definitive answer, but the space required to discover who might emerge on the other side.
