SOLARI - Everyone Is Your Friend
Listen on Spotify, Apple, Deezer, Amazon
Written and produced by David Baron and Renée Hikari ‘Everyone Is Your Friend’ explores the concept of being lonely in a big city. The song speaks to the epidemic of loneliness that exists in big cities. Many feel extreme loneliness and isolation living in cities even though they are surrounded by many people. Our Solari character feels trapped and lonely. Her journey is to figure out how to escape. The Japanese lyrics are Solari questioning if she’s capable of loving anyone, letting someone deep inside her heart.
The song is based on a driving eight-note synth bass and insistent drums. The driving rhythm track provides a backdrop to the changes in scene. The electric guitar (played by Kevin Kadish) punctuates the rhythm. The idea was to make the song feel like being on the train in a big city. Everything is moving around you. And nothing ever stops. You are surrounded by strangers.
