The words ‘falling in love’ have been edited out of country music singer Tammy Wynette’s famous song, rendering it a simple, looped repetition of ‘I’ll just keep on . . . ’til I get it right’. The effect recalls the sound produced by an analogue record player when the needle is stuck in a faulty groove of the vinyl. Floyer turns the chorus of this love song into what becomes an intense meditation on failure, persistence, and anxiety.
