I do notice the change, but I am only academically aware of: "OK, this implies a slight bit of contrast and/or shift in meaning that を would not, but doesn't change the meaning of the sentence so much that I now no longer understand it."
I still don't feel the difference many times.
But when I can I like to use は because it makes my life easy for the following parts. You set that as topic and then you can introduce new subject without having to mention the topic again and again...


降り注ぐ雨 マジで冷てぇ
暗闇の中 歩くしかねぇ
everything’s gonna be okay 恐れることねぇ
辛い時こそ胸を張れ
