Girl at the Rock Shows

Clearly, my day is not going the way I wanted it to. It’s already almost 2 PM, and this is only the second track I’ve had a chance to share with you today, just because the day job has been insane. Thankfully, “townie,” from Alejandro, is more than enough song to carry both you and I through the rest of the day in a truly lovely way.

This song feels like life. I know that sounds so broad, but that’s as specific as I can get here. As Alex Silva, of Alejandro, said regarding what this song is about, “[it’s about] One small-town layabout reminiscing about another who’s decided to set out in search of a bigger life.” Now, I’m from a smallish town in a small, flyover kind of state. I never belonged there, and the day after I graduated high school, I left. I don’t go back to visit often, but when I do, I often run into friends who never left the easy living that Waukee and Des Moines, Iowa, have to offer. They are slow and steady in their lives, whereas mine seems like a chaotic mess of moments that all fit together. Neither way is better than the other. Neither is right, and neither is wrong. It’s just that we all went down different paths and chose different styles of how to live life. That’s what this song feels like, plus a cozy hug and a warm cup of coffee on a dreary Sunday morning, where you are left asking yourself all of the “what if” kind of questions. It’s existential in a way, but this song from Alejandro will help you see the light and realize that you are just where you need to be, and maybe you should just slow down a wee bit and realize how amazing your path and journey have been thus far.

“townie” is the newest single from Alejandro’s upcoming album called ‘¡Con Gusto!‘ out next year.
