“Where Do you See Yourself In Five Years is a track full of energy and light, a track to rescue from the worries of the future.”
Tom’s “Where Do You See Yourself In Five Years?” starts with the question, which is the title. The track makes you think, questions your life plans, and what patch you choose. Will it be the one more traveled and easier or the one with the challenges? The track is not your basic modern indie track. Rather, it’s a composition that has electric guitars played with fuzz and staccato effects, a carousel organ, a Greek chorus that cries and responds, layers of rattling drums that are outrageously overpowering, the menacing echo of stomping feet, and some wicked harmonica played by the track’s producer, Teaboy Palmer. And of course, there’s also an allusion to ancient Rome, since no future classic could be considered classic without one. Plus much more, with the “more” being an audacious assurance of rescue. The lyrics of the track are not just basic notes. It focuses on how we make long-term plans for our life and one minor event, which we never accepted, turns your whole life around and forces you to look for an alternate plan. It highlights the gap between the present and the future.
Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years is more than just a track. It is a question that makes you think about how sticking with the reality is important because you never know what the future holds.
