About the inescapable burden of life: "Feed" by pMad

"Feed" by pMad The inescapable burden of life and deep inner pain - welcome to ‘Feed,’ the new single from pMad . Paul Dillon presents himself as thoughtful as never before in this new song, describing the visible and invisible scars that our existence leaves behind.   Feelings of hopelessness make escape almost impossible. ‘ No escape if you can't hide ’ sounds like a quiet decline, emphasizing the inevitability of these struggles if they are not confronted directly. Critical statements such as ‘ The life of a value is worth more than the value of a life ’ question the priorities of our society, which often places material values above human life, emphasizing how overwhelming the burden and responsibility of life can be.  Despair and the inner struggle on the horizon show the need to prioritize the true value of life over material values and to fight on despite the darkness and overwhelming challenges, ultimately finding meaning and significance in the here and now. ...

Wistful & Grave: “Another Dirtbag” by Bonheur

“Another Dirtbag” by Bonheur

Bonheur, @Gerrit Wohnsdorf
Today, we pursue our musical exploration of the indie pop/rock genre and encounter Bonheur, a band from Stuttgart and Berlin. Their debut song, entitled “Another Dirtbag”, came out last Friday. “Another Dirtbag” deals with the negative emotions that life engenders and urges the listener to confront their frustration, self-doubt, or isolation and contemplate their repressed anger. 
The song challenges our performance-driven society and prompts us to examine our mental health. In the chorus, a despondent mood prevails, and a hummed melody communicates more than one initially perceives. It reflects a sort of flight from meaninglessness. At the end, one recognises that one is merely one of many who seek a scapegoat. 
Musically, Bonheur operates with “Another Dirtbag” in the realm of indie rock with subtle pop inflections. Drums and bass provide the basis on which the guitar harmonises with gentle synth sounds and produces a flawless ambience for the vocals
Superb indie material from Germany, one might say. A wistful song with a grave undertone. “Another Dirtbag” by Bonheur is an impressive debut!
