"Basil Ganglia," a track that intertwines surf rock melodies with a narrative deeply rooted in personal struggle, societal observations, and a provocative dialogue with divinity. At its core, "Basil Ganglia" (3:22) ventures into the tumultuous relationship between faith and the often inexplicable challenges of life. Drawing from my own experiences with trichotillomania—a condition that shaped much of my childhood; the more hair missing or if you saw my eyes without lashes this simply meant the more anxious I was for being a sinner—the song uses a blend of dark humor, candid lyricism, and an upbeat, sing-along surf rock vibe to discuss themes many might find uncomfortable, yet undeniably human. The juxtaposition of the song’s light, harmonious composition in D minor, against the weight of its subject matter—questioning the existence and nature of God amidst personal and global suffering—creates a unique listening experience. It’s a conversation starter, meant to engage listeners in a deeper reflection on the absurdities of life, the quest for meaning, and the beauty of embracing one's flaws. - Mastered by Mixea.commore
