3 min read
After a long period of anticipation, Gamer YN finally unveils his latest single, “Feelings,” – a piece of heartfelt art inspired by a profound event in March of last year. The track stems from a personal experience when Gamer YN’s mother fell unconscious, coinciding with a period of intense relationship challenges. This moment became a catalyst for a transformative mindset, urging him to embrace life while he could.
The instrumental soundscape of “Feelings” is layered with rich timbres of guitar, percussion, drums, and piano, creating a melodic backdrop that complements the complexity of emotions and reflections embedded in the song. The lyrics grapple with a spectrum of feelings and experiences, delving into themes of resilience and self-preservation. The use of imagery, such as “fake yeezy’s” and “cutting down everything non-beneficial,” signals a deliberate effort to distance himself from inauthentic or negative influences. Gamer YN conveys a resolve to focus on what truly matters, guarding emotional well-being.
The repetition of the mantra, “Ain’t no feelings here to catch no more,” throughout the track becomes a resounding declaration of self-protection and self-preservation. The second verse delves into past disillusionment with figures once admired which eventually culminates into a declaration of commitment to a higher power; a turn towards faith and a reliance on spiritual strength and guidance. “Feelings” is an essential listen, driving forward the essential message of embracing the sanctity of life.
