The first single from Waverly Drive, a solo project by Los Angeles, California-based Phil Galloni, titled “The New Age” is an upbeat, vibrant song track that reflects on politics and society in the modern era. It’s one of those songs that uplift you while delivering such a grave message. The project consists of influences from rock, pop, and new wave to create enticing, upbeat compositions that are ideal for an escape by the water.
“The song portrays how even in this “new age” where we are constantly connected, we are more disconnected than ever before.“
The song opens with reminding us of the older simpler times, when people still had empathy as the lyrics says “Servants looking for a place to stay complaining at least back in my day they gave me a place to lay.” The song portrays how even in this age where we are constantly connected, we are more disconnected than ever before. It talks about the despondence and hopelessness this age where we are searching for something that we are not even sure exists, The new age beautifully encompasses with it’s lyrics “When Everyone feels the same, but we don’t ever say anything” how we co-exist in the same place, feeling the same things but we have became so apathetic, that we’re oblivious to the emotions and feelings of those around us. But for the ones that are still old school, the new age is gilded not welcoming which is probably a good thing cause they can’t just stand there and do nothing. This song will make you want to take your car out for a spin on long, empty and scenic roads and let it’s music wash all over you. I highly recommend you give this track a spin and it will become your go-to escape song.
