SFM021: LYLY

We have always been seeking the truthful emotions and the storytelling behind the music we wanna push forward, right next to the technical sound and the emitting energy coming from the frequency waves. We also love to present hidden gems in this oversaturated of music and art, yet full of opportunities and some happy ends. This is the story behind Lyly and his “Personal EP” using his own words:

”Each track is intricately linked to a specific time and emotion of my life:

Argue is a track that I started writing in early 2020, before the pandemic. It’s emerged from an unhealed wound that was buried deep inside my heart. It took me three years to finish the song. Perhaps I needed to heal from the wound to find the strength to complete it.

Crashing Down was written on New Year’s Eve 2023. I was feeling very anxious at that time because I was working a lot on my music and I was pushing myself very hard. Ironically, this track didn’t take a lot of effort to write. It came very naturally to me, probably because I decided to release the pressure that night and accepted that I needed to be gentler with myself. So in a way, this track is a reminder to myself to let go of things and to just let myself crash down from time to time.

Pivert was written after a long period of writer’s block. I hadn’t written anything in the past 6 months. I think at that time, I had lost motivation to write music because of all the isolation and inactivity during the pandemic. But then I went to Rampage Open Air and it was a real breath of fresh air for me. It was the first time in almost two years that I got to experience music in that context, played very loud, surrounded by people who also love this music. After the festival, I got back to producing music and this track was born.

Daylily was a very fun track to write. At that time, I was pretty much doing nothing else in my life but producing so I was very in phase with my skills. It took me a whole afternoon to write the main idea of the track and then another two sessions to finish it. It was very refreshing because for once I didn’t overthink the track, it all came naturally. In a sense, this track feels like a victory for me because things were finally starting to look brighter in my life and I think this track reflects it well.”
