Testo Like 1999 - Commentary - Valley
Testo della canzone Like 1999 - Commentary (Valley), tratta dall'album Last Birthday (The After Party) [Commentary]
Like "1999," this song is the moment
I feel like this song is the moment that every artist or songwriter
Um, sees happen and sometimes dreams about and kind of witnesses
Kind of on a daily basis now with the way we're consuming social media
But you kinda never imagine it'll happen to you
And I say that because, you know, this
Song came out like middle of pandemic
We basically had two things we could do
We could either sit at home and just wait this thing
Out or we could find a way to get together safely
In this context, it was just a cabin in the woods with some
You know, with our friend Chris just documenting everything
And, and music, like that's, that's literally all we had
So, you know, this, this moment happening, this whatever TikTok moment
Is, is really a product of us just doing anything we can to stay sane
And in this case it was us writing a song
With our friend Jonathan and Charlie
Um, we wanted to write a song that literally described the feeling
Of just like, "Man, shit's like wild right now and I wish we could
Go back to a time where things were just a little bit simpler"
Like just before like these black mirrors took over our, our lives
And, and everything was done in context of what that will produce
And, um, I think that's why this, this song worked
Because as much as it was pumped into this like machine, it
Came from a very, very important and honest and organic spot
Like we, we were not writing to put this song on TikTok
Our friend Chris kinda without even telling us posted that clip
Of us dancing to the song 'cause we thought we wrote a great song
And that organic love and push was really like the
Gas in the tank for this song to, to become what it is
And now I, I'm happy to say it's one of those
Songs that has truthfully changed our lives, um
But has very much not changed our perspective on
The way we create music or how we write or, you know
We're not writing to post a song on TikTok tomorrow and I think
Every artist listening should, should have a grasp on that
I think with a lot of these like moments happening now every day on
TikTok, I think it's very easy to tell when it's something like, um
When there's like passion and, and, and truly like a root to it
Not just like, "Oh, I just made this to
Put it up in front of people right now"
Um, and yeah, I'm really proud of this song
Like I'm, I'm very happy to say that this is a song that changed
Our lives and has connected with so, so, so many people, um
And it's just, it's unreal singing this every night on tour, um
Just hearing thousands of people sing
The chorus is just chills every time
Um, and yeah, shoutout to Jonathan, um, from Nightly and Charlie Adams
In Nashville for jumping on that Zoom and, uh, and writing this song
With us 'cause it really, uh, it really impacted a lot of people
So we're really thankful
