FALSE HOPES

'False Hopes' is the title of this pretty nice single by Spanish composer Javier Miranda, which was released in May of 2020, while pandemics was striking our lives. At that time I remember we were aware of how unusual episode we were living, however, some of us were not aware of the impact this would have in our lives.

So when we experience something completely new, it is normal to feel fear, but if that new thing has negative connotation, I bet there is a moment when we all want to throw the towel and give-up, so in those low moments, as much as we want to keep the faith, our hopes fade away.

In some way, 'False Hopes' reminds me of the apocalyptic sounds of Goodspeed You! Black Emperor, with the difference that here we only have one musician behind his synths, keys and computers. The mood is desolated, like guiding us into a void, which I believe was the void some of us experienced during the lockdown. Our lives changed, we wanted them back, but those were all false hopes, because we were about to enter to what became "the new normal".

Do you want to have a moment of instrospection? Listen to this single and to Javier Miranda's music, it will take you into a deep journey to the self.
