This song centers around a young man who feels lonely in a big city.
It expresses the feeling of not being able to get used to the hustle and bustle of the city and losing one's place in it, using actual sampled sounds from the city.
The pop-leaning arrangement, incorporating brass and strings, is layered with a dynamic melody and a suddenly developing structure, creating a finished product that simultaneously depicts the suffocating yet fast-paced feel of the city.
The production began when Aimaima had an intuition that "I'll go with this title" while on his way to work.
Based on field recordings of the city, and after repeated trial and error, the song is a shining example of Aimaima's new approach.
The name Aimaima comes from making music in the aima, the moments in between work and family. Rooted in pop, Aimaima creates music that flows across styles: heartfelt ballads, playful lyrics without heavy messages, and songs infused with bass solos and session-like energy. After years of running a non-profit space for others to make music, the realization came that personal expression had been left behind. That was the spark to start Aimaima, a solo project with the ambitious goal of releasing 100 songs. Every track is written, arranged, performed, and mixed alone, ensuring a steady stream of independent creations. One signature track, Ivory, layers multiple bass lines and boldly combines rap vocals with a central bass solo. It captures the essence of a bassist bringing improvisational energy into the framework of pop. There is no strict target listener, but some lyrics reflect a perspective as a father, which may especially resonate with parents. More than chasing trends or external validation, the project is about leaving behind proof of life as a creator. If someday, someone in the future happens to listen and realizes: There was an artist like this. That is enough.
