00:00This is literally like my dream.
00:01I'm living the dream right now.
00:02I used to like watch Genius with my friends
00:04in high school, bro.
00:05I just watched like that one Lil Tecca interview
00:07and got no straps, no.
00:09I was like, we can't like watch that every day.
00:12There was probably some point where I was like,
00:13bro guys, I'm gonna be on Genius one day.
00:15Watch this.
00:15And they're like, nah.
00:17But here I am, bro.
00:26So Blue is inspired by the C-drama I watch.
00:29It's called, When I Fly Towards You.
00:31I watched it on Discord with this girl
00:33that I was really crushing on.
00:34We watched like the whole thing together.
00:35Best experience, bro.
00:36Like I had so much fun.
00:37It was just like the C-drama and this girl
00:39and I put it together.
00:40And I put all my emotions into this
00:42and then Blue came out.
00:44What verse one is about is love at first sight.
00:46Morning eyes is like, I wanna wake up with you.
00:48You know, I wanna see your eyes in the morning.
00:50Like they're like stars, bro.
00:51I could walk you by.
00:52I could tell without a thought.
00:53It's just like, literally I can take a glance at her
00:55and I'll just be like, she's the one.
00:57She's my future.
01:13I tried to put my true feelings, you know,
01:16my true emotions into it.
01:17I tried to think of the C-drama.
01:18I tried to think like of some scenes
01:19that I was like, oh my God.
01:21Like I felt like I was about to cry or something, you know.
01:23Those scenes, I just thought about what I felt
01:25when I was watching that scene and I translated it.
01:43You're falling in love.
01:45I'll nap under my skies with you.
01:49I think I'll picture us, you with the waves.
01:52The ocean's colors on your face.
01:56Originally, actually, verse two was the chorus.
01:59I sent it to some people and they were like,
02:00eh, it's not bad.
02:01I was like, okay, you know what?
02:02They're not feeling it.
02:03So I just kind of push it down
02:05and then I just muted it, left it for later.
02:07And then I just kept freestyling
02:08for like literally like an hour or two, right?
02:11It's just straight, just the chorus, repeat the chorus.
02:13And then just keep freestyling, think of melodies.
02:15And then suddenly I just started like,
02:16da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da.
02:20I was like, oh my God, it's pretty good.
02:21And then I recorded it.
02:22I was like, it's not bad.
02:24And I sent it to my friends and they were like,
02:25ah, what the fuck?
02:27Like, it's so good.
02:28And that's what I knew.
02:29I was like, ah, this is the one.
02:30I'll leave my heart with your air.
02:34So let me fly with you.
02:38Will you be forever with me?
02:46In the chorus, I mentioned like waves, ocean,
02:50moonlight skies, leave my heart with your air.
02:53You know, it's kind of like blue skies.
02:54There's a lot of elements of blue,
02:55but I didn't actually say blue.
02:57And I feel like people that listen to my song,
02:59they'll be like, right, that's blue.
03:01Like that sounds like blue.
03:03My love will always stay by you.
03:09I'll keep it safe, so don't you worry a thing.
03:14I'll tell you I love you more.
03:17Verse two kind of sounds like a bridge, actually.
03:19It's like big, loud chorus and suddenly just dip.
03:22I feel like just if there's drums in a song,
03:24it's just like, there's momentum.
03:25Drums, I feel like brings a lot to the song.
03:27Just taking the drums out is like, it has a nice effect.
03:30It's stuck with you forever,
03:33so promise you won't let it go.
03:36I'll trust the universe will always bring me to you.
03:45The last line of verse two, it kind of comes from a TikTok.
03:48It's just like a picture, right?
03:49It was these two birds.
03:50I think it was something like,
03:51do you think we're best friends in other worlds too,
03:53or other universes too?
03:54And then the other bird was like, huh, I don't know.
03:56And then you scroll, right?
03:57It's like a bunch of different panels
04:00of different art styles.
04:01The same two birds, same two positions.
04:02It's like, do you think we're best friends
04:03in other universes?
04:04Oh yeah, yeah, you know?
04:05And then I was like, damn, that hits, bro.
04:10I really like listening to Juice WRLD, X, Loteca.
04:13Yeah, I was just so inspired.
04:14I tried to make music like them, but it just didn't work.
04:16I posted some songs on SoundCloud that didn't do that good.
04:19I started making beats a lot.
04:21That also didn't really work.
04:23But the thing is, my mind was always set on,
04:25I wanted to do music for sure.
04:27I tried to experiment with stuff,
04:29making different kinds of genres.
04:30I started going to guitar classes,
04:32and I started singing on TikTok.
04:33Literally like the first video that I put up,
04:36I remember I was expecting like,
04:37damn, it would be crazy if I got like 500 views.
04:39But it got like 30K.
04:41I think I was singing like a Bebe Doobie song.
04:42It got like 30K views.
04:43I was like, oh my God, dude, that's crazy.
04:45So I just, during my gap year,
04:46I just posted one cover like every day.
04:49Like every single day.
04:49That's how I kind of gained like a following, I guess.
04:51And then people just liked it.
04:53And I was like, maybe this is my direction.
04:55Wait, did Lisa sit here?
04:56Yeah.
04:56In this chair?
04:57I'm pretty sure.
05:00Yeah.
