As a digital nomad, I often find solace and inspiration in music. Whether I’m working from a coffee shop in a bustling city or sitting by the beach, my headphones are always nearby, ready to transport me to a different world. One song that has recently caught my attention is “Choice” by Jack Stauber’s Micropop. The catchy tune and thought-provoking lyrics have made it a regular part of my playlist.
I first heard this song on a lazy afternoon while exploring a new city. The sun was shining brightly, and the streets were filled with a vibrant energy. As I strolled along, I stumbled upon a charming little music store. The air was filled with the sound of various melodies blending together, and it was in this moment that “Choice” began to play.
From the very first notes, I was captivated. The song opens with the Chorus, repeating the words “Love, brain, heart, control” over and over again. This repetitive phrase immediately caught my attention, raising questions about the ways in which these elements intersect in our lives. Stauber cleverly adds the lines “Caffeinate, melatonin” to remind us of the different factors that can influence our decision-making process.
In the Verse, Stauber introduces a dialogue between two voices, engaging in an internal struggle. The first voice introduces itself as “injury,” expressing a sense of pain and vulnerability. However, the second voice challenges this perception, stating that one has the choice to be injured or not. The first voice vehemently denies this, emphasizing the hurt it feels. This conflict within oneself is a relatable experience for many. It explores the complexity of decision-making and the internal battles we often face when making choices.
The genius of “Choice” lies in its ability to convey powerful emotions through enigmatic lyrics. Each listener can interpret the song in their own way, based on their personal experiences and struggles. For me, the song resonates with the constant internal dialogue I have as a digital nomad. Every day, I make choices that shape my journey, and at times, it can be overwhelming. “Choice” reminds me that despite the challenges, I have control over my own path.
Jack Stauber’s Micropop released this song as part of the self-titled album “Micropop” in 2019. Stauber, who produced and wrote the song, showcases his knack for blending various genres, giving “Choice” its unique sound. This song, like many other Micropop tunes, falls under the Pop, Lo-Fi, Synth-Pop, Indie Pop, and Indie genres.
“Choice” serves as a reminder that our choices are not solely governed by external forces but are the result of a delicate interplay between our love, brain, heart, and control. It invites us to reflect on our decision-making processes and empowers us to embrace the agency we possess.
So, the next time you find yourself at a crossroads, put on your headphones, turn up the volume, and let Jack Stauber’s Micropop take you on a journey of self-discovery through the enchanting rhythms and introspective lyrics of “Choice.”
