“Fresh” is a reflection on the moments that shape us and the clarity that comes when we least expect it. With its blend of introspective lyrics and danceable energy, this track invites you to embrace life’s complexities while finding renewal in the journey. Let it move you, both inside and out.
The Story Behind “Fresh”
When first sitting down to write Fresh, i wasn’t entirely sure where it was going to go. What started as a simple melody turned into a journey—one that felt deeply personal but that know you have likely experienced. We will miss the moments we take for granted. It’s just… how humans are. This song acknowledges quiet realizations that creep up on you when you least expect them.
Life has a ‘funny’ way of teaching you things. You think you’ve got it all figured out, that you know how to handle the curveballs, but then something happens—a loss, a win, or just one of those nights where your thoughts won’t leave you alone—and you realize how much more you have to learn – or reframe. That’s where this song came from.
The lyrics reflect those moments when life feels hard, and you wonder if it ever gets easier. (it doesn’t). But there’s a strange beauty in that, isn’t there? The things that challenge us, that push us to our limits, also make the good times that much sweeter. The chorus is a way of saying, “Yeah, it’s tough—but look at how much more meaningful everything becomes when you get through it.”
Recording this track was an emotional process – as it should be. But there were moments in the studio where taking a step back, a breath, and just sitting with the creation was necessary. It wasn’t about making it perfect; it was about making it honest.
Musically, I wanted the song to feel a pulse, a rhythm that keeps driving forward, even when the lyrics slow down to ask questions. The balance between the moody undertones and the danceable energy was deliberate. It’s a song that invites you to move while also making you think—and that duality feels like life.
Fresh is part of a turning point. As a few already know, Sunset Sky has been evolving, figuring out who we are and what we want to say, and this song feels like the beginning of something new that’s been taking place over the last four or five tracks. It’s typically raw, always real, and unapologetically Sunset Sky’s modus operandi.
The hope is when you hear it, you feel a little of what it felt creating it. Whether you’re dancing in your room or sitting quietly with your thoughts, this song is for you. It’s a reminder to hold on, to keep going, and to find the beauty in every moment—because even the hardest times become a little more dear in the end.
Thank you for listening,
Sunset Sky
Lyrics, “Fresh”
imagine so long ago
thought we’d have to put on a hell of a show
if only we knew how hard it was going to get
but even had a feeling then
that we’d never waste a moment and spend
that much damn time thinking all the way through
to the end
just from my experience
learned it will never get easier
but then a strange thing happens
it becomes a little more dear
well it’s about time to go
like an illogical
picture show
there’s no good reason to watch the same reel again
hope i can learn to enjoy
all the rest of our brief time here
maybe now i realize
there is nothing else we should fear
just from my experience
learned it never gets easier
but then a strange thing happens
it becomes a little more dear
hope i can learn to enjoy
all the rest of our brief time here
maybe now i realize
there is nothing else we should fear
just from my experience
learned it never gets easier
but then a strange thing happens
it becomes a little more dear
