Last year, I went through a few months where some of the best experiences of my life so far overlapped: moving into an apartment with girlfriend, with all the emotions that come with it; alongside months of deep existential uncertainty, where I was unemployed—not only having to look for a job in a competitive and ruthless world that is exhausting and disgusting, but also facing so many existential doubts I had never encountered before, probably because I had been running on autopilot. What do I want to do with my life? What do I expect from it? To what extent am I truly free to decide what I want to do?
Time went by. I didn’t find a clear answer to any of these questions. I found a job. Confronting all of this was temporarily put on pause. But from it all, I took away the decision to gather all the reflections I had accumulated so far and turn them into an album. Or rather, two. A double-sided album, where I aim to capture the emotions, thoughts, and reflections that have brought me to where I am today.
And today, I’m excited to present the first single from it all. Written at the peak of this existential uncertainty. Clinging to those people and emotions that make life meaningful—even when nothing does.more
