Need a good cry? Listen to this.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
We all could us a sad summer bop right now. It’s cathartic (and only human) to cry. After losing his father nearly seven years ago, superstar producer Don Diablo witnessed his entire life forever shift. It was so cataclysmic, nothing has been the same since. Upon brooding upon how life, and his perspective, have changed, he wrote a song called “Thousand Faces,” a downtempo bop that doesn’t skimp on addressing one of life’s inevitable transitions. Death is inescapable, and we behold it every single day, both on macro and micro scales. Juggernaut performer Andy Grammer fits the lyrics like a glove, leading with a gentle, heart warming vocal performance. “There’s a thousand faces but you’re not around / Would I make, would I make you proud if you could see me now,” Grammer sings. The visual mixes past and present, further underscoring the fragility of life and the importance of seizing very day like it’s your last. Go out there and really live.
