Featured Tune: "Hello Human" by Tara Van
Tara Van has outdone herself with her new single Hello Human. There cannot be a more accurate representation of a song that you dance to in your room. No doubt it gives off a summer vibe with its sunflower and bees poster, symbolizing her love for nature and asking us to peacefully co-exist.
But the actual meaning behind this song that makes it so perfect is how it will knock on your self-consciousness and ask you questions about what you are running after. With captivating lyrics like "wanting's all you do, always speaking of new, never having enough", she has captured our very nature of never having enough with such simplicity that it's mind-blowing. And you actually stop and think about the fact that maybe letting go is good sometimes.
The bridge of the song says, "If we fall, we fall together", "If we fail, we fail us all" shows that we are all together in this, intensifying the idea of co-existence.Â
And then the music suddenly slows down for the most important lyrics of the songs that say , “Oh we have the answer to heal our own pain. And we hold the key to free our own chain. The power these lyrics hold with slowed background music makes you realize that the only thing stopping us from being happy is ourselves.
The ukulele combined with the melodious soft tunes make you want to listen to this masterpiece again and again. This is truly a beautiful song with the most mind-blowing yet simple lyrics that pull at your heartstrings. It is a gentle reminder to appreciate the beauty around you and strive to achieve your goals together.
