“All We Know” by The Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers released this song on September 29th of 2016. The artist that sings in the song is named Phoebe Ryan. I wondered how The Chainsmokers and Phoebe Ryan came together and came across a post of they did… through the POV of Phoebe via Genius:

“The Chainsmokers and I had met and worked together in NYC while I was living there a few years back. I had always wanted to collaborate with Drew and Alex, and when they sent me this song, I was over the moon. A few days after I cut a demo for them, we met up in the studio and recorded it together, which I think was so important for the vibe. I don’t know if people would be surprised to know I didn’t have a hand in writing it. I’m one of those artists that hears an amazing song and it doesn’t matter to me who wrote it. If it hits me, I want in.”

The song has more of a sadistic tone compared to their pump up, headbanger music. This song does provide a lot of meaning toward relationships. It is a relaxed song about a struggling relationship. The relationship in question is on the brink of falling apart, but a connection still exists through some sort of love and the lover does not know whether to keep the relationship going or not. This is very relatable to a lot of relationships that are struggling. I also would like to point out the cover art of this song. I say that the cover art illustrates all the emotions which lovers feel, from love, anger, and being left heartbroken. Those are the feelings both the lovers know and feel for certain.

The release of “Alone” by Marshmellow.

This song was released on a Canadian EDM label Monstercat for Marshmello-a masked DJ who came on the scene in 2015. The song dropped in May of 2016 and through the EDM culture, it is a fan notable and favorite. Marshmellow revealed the meaning of this song on Facebook:

“Truth is, I had just moved away from my friends and family and I started to feel very home sick and lonely like I didn’t belong in my new settings. Everything was just happening so fast and I couldn’t really grasp where I was or who I was but all I knew was that I felt Alone.”

The song itself is an EDM headbanger that provides so many bass drops that are unique and you cannot help yourself but head bob or just jump to the beat of the song. We can all relate to this song since we all have felt being alone at times. Either it is from moving to a foreign place, having a bad week with no support, or maybe we are not happy and just feel the loneliness. Click here to listen to the headbanger and I promise you that this will make you want to jump out of your chair and bounce.
