So I released a new song today, happy Leap Day!
It’s called FERMI.
If you’d like to know where I came up with the concept, I couldn’t tell you at all, to be honest lol. It was such a mishmash of different sources in my brain that all just so happened to hit in sequence while writing the song over the course of two collective days. I had the instrumental and knew I wanted to make a cool, simple, and smooth rnb song (ha, “simple”) and simply just started to write about how the world isn’t very nice. Then I wrote “and who wouldn’t wanna visit us?” and thought ‘oh, this is about aliens!’, and then I thought, ‘well, might as well go from the aliens’ perspective in the second half!’ BEAT SWITCH! And so that’s basically that, really.
Are aliens real? I honestly don’t know, but I do somewhat understand the perspective of the song. Really and truely and logically, if there is an advanced alien species capable of interstellar travel (which, by the way, is incredibly difficult if that wasn’t fully clear), then why would they even stop off at Earth? “These lot haven’t even visited the next planet over? Jokers!” You know?
Listen man, it’s obviously not a very happy song, despite how groovy and viby it is, but I’d like to think there’s something to take away from it. I wouldn’t say it’s like a new concept or anything like that, that ‘humans=bad and maybe we shouldn’t be’, but I want to hammer it home. There’s more to life than petty squables. And yes, I’m even talking about wars when I say petty squables. Because in the grand scheme of things, what do we look like? We look like babies. They’re laughing at us, guys! Thay’re laughing at how babyish we’re being. Think about how much we could accomplish if we just worked together. I wonder how difficult it would be to make that happen...
This is the first song in the lead up to a bigger project, called ‘the show’, and if the song is allegedly (according to me) about people, then the project is deffinitely about people. I’m excited to see it fully come to fruition.
Anyways, shout out FERMI. I think it’s a good song lol, and it’s gotten me a lot of opportunities as well so that’s all fun. It might just be the best song I’ve made so far. But there’s so many more songs to come along this journey.
Thanks for listening to it if you have. And thanks for being here!
