"I wanna live another year"
I Want to Live Another Year by Trees and Machines, the musical project of singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Matt Herzog based in San Francisco (California), was penned while on a road trip during the heat of the Covid 19. Moving on extremely tactile guitar picking and droning sounds, Herzog reflects on love, longing and adversity. His vocal aesthetic, comfortable and tender pulls you in when he pushes into lovely falsettos. Of the song he shares:
"I Want to Live Another Year" was written while on a road trip in the middle of Covid. While not written about the pandemic it touches on themes and inclinations we are all feeling. i.e. "I Want to Live Another Year".
The song is fundamentally about our misdirected persistence to keep pushing forward in the face of adversity to ultimately gain and achieve things we don't need. We inevitably learn we need not much more than human connection.
A third way in, the song expands, percolating on a restless beat full of wanderlust, more guitars and folk orchestrations and a sort of stoic realization that everything ends eventually... that we all end eventually. Herzog's sad reflections remind us of this and reminds us to make the most of what we have right now.
