Go Farther In Lightness, 2017
Written by David Le'aupepe
Riding a persistent uptempo percussion track with catchy keyboard and strings, this song is an avalanche of words, a literate litany of one man's self-assessment in the face of aging, failure, and the ability to fight for cause. It's a wry mix of deadpan self-depreciation and humor. "Honey, it’s no secret that I’ve been losing my way / In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways / But hey, I’m still young and it’s gonna be okay / I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade." It's the human condition: longing, confidence, intensity, anticipation, all gliding over a pulsating rhythm. It's over five minutes but I could easily have it twice the length.
