I listened to this artist’s album Volatile Times many, many, many, many times last year. This song sets the tone for the album in that it is a scathing hate letter, essentially, to the music industry in which he is a participant but from which he has seemingly tried to distance himself. He criticizes the vapid and even harmful messages put out by mainstream artists, the rampant egos that drive their clambering for success, their lifestyles of excess, and their willingness to sell their soul for the chance to be remembered after they’re gone. You can practically taste the disdain.
Note: Listening in HD is advisable!
