"Brighter Days"
"Brighter days" is a great example of a song that happened so organically
I met Bipolar Sunshine, who sings on the song, at Coachella
We really wanted to make music together, and a week later, we were cooking music in the kitchen of my AirBNB, like literally in the kitchen
Laptop on the kitchen table, speakers on the side
It was really funny, we recorded everything in the kitchen
First I played him this little loop I made:
So yeah, I played him that and he really liked that and he started writing melodies and the words to it right away
I am very specific about lyrics
Some producers start off with lyrics, you know, that they get sent to them from other writers or publishers
And then they built this song around the lyrics
But for me it doesn't really work like that, I-I wanna do the music first, I wanna get a vibe with the music, a feeling with the music first and then write about the feeling that the music gives me
Which is, I think there's no right or wrong, it's just a different approach
But that's my way of feeling really connected to the music
Otherwise, I just can't do it
But luckily Bipolar and I were on the same page from the start
I think we wrote and recorded the song in two days and, even though I worked on the drop for weeks-and-weeks-and-weeks, the writing of the song felt very organic
To me, 'brighter days' is about reminiscing:
Thinking about an old love and wondering if that person does the same thing too from time-to-time
It's not a very sad song, I feel like it's more... I feel it's more like an optimistic song
Knowing that even though you might be sad about some things in your life right now, brighter days will come
