Final Days - Bonobo Remix | Michael Kiwanuka, Bonobo

This is the type of track I love.

One where the lyrics hold you at a standstill but the beats force you to move.

The original track go to me. It captured so much.

It captured how things around me can build up. All the little experiences. The ones I don’t notice, and the ones I do. The ones that feel like everything else and the ones that feel jarringly different. How they all build up to have this weight.

It captured magnitude of feeling that weight for the first time. The moment when I realized how tired it made. And that I didn’t feel that tired when I was younger. And that it might only get heavier as I get older.

It captured the surrender of being part of something I never asked to be a part of. But something I can’t give up on. So I keep going.

The beautiful thing about this remix is how much it taps into that last part - the ability to keep going.

Because for as heavy as things feel, I keep moving forward. Sometimes I don’t fucking know why. There are so many logical reasons not to. But I can’t help it. I can’t help but keep moving.

I can’t help but keep moving…

…like there was some incessantly beautiful beat underneath it all forcing me to.
