Music Review : Lily by Alan Walker, Emilie Hollow, and K-391
Do
you guys realize that each perspective on Alan Walker’s song Lily has a unique
interpretation? Let me inform you that Alan Walker is a British-Norwegian music
producer also known as DJ Walkzz. He had no intention of making music when he
began doing so, he was motivated by a passion that led him to compute graphical
design and musical programming. He also teaches himself by watching YouTube
tutorials based on a musical production. He started to act in producing a
song on the year 2012 until now. In July 2012, his fans got his back when he
began to pursue his music production career and slowly began posting his music
to YouTube and SoundCloud. He starts as a bedroom producer but now he is better
known as DJ Walkzz before signed a record deal and released his debut single in
2014. Walkers YouTube became the most subscribed channel registered in Norway
because it exceedingly roughly 4.5 million subscribers. On January 25, 2020,
Walker’s channel had the highest number of views among Norwegian YouTubers with
over 7.7 billion views.
Alan
Walker has a lot of albums but I’m going to talk about the album of Different
World which is the track, Lily. Lily was released as a track in the album of
Different World. Different World is the debut studio album by Norwegian record
producer Alan Walker. This song was released on December 14 2018 through MER
Musikk and Sony Music Entertainment. In my opinion, Lily is about a little girl
who is afraid of the world but wants to explore more about the world itself.
Lily’s lyrics are about the dangers that a young girl confronts and the rules
that her family creates for her to live in a safe place. These kinds of rules
and regulations exist to protect women, yet they make it difficult for Lily to
escape the protection she received. In this scenario, Lily decided to venture
into the woods where the monsters hide but she was scared of what she would
find. She didn’t realize that she was unique from the others.
There
are also fans who said this song is a historical song because it belongs to the
literary genre called “Epika”. It means “telling, explaining” in Greek. The
epic may be characterized as a literary genre that relates in verse the
historical exploits of real or mythological heroes, the acts of which include a
person with superhuman skills and is created in such a manner that it
configures the ideal of the human being to be followed. I also found research,
that said there’s a possibility Lily is a princess who in psychological terms
has fulfilled the basic layer of human needs, such as physical needs, covering
the needs for food, drink, fresh air, needs for safety, and needs for love and
care. It also can be said that she is a little girl who lives a luxurious life,
and has never seen the outside world - unlike other normal children out there.
In
summary, it is indeed a good song that has a deep meaning in its lyrics. It is
all based on how you comprehend the meaning of the song. This song reminds me
that no matter what you do, always stay alert because you never know when
anything could happen to you or someone you love. I would definitely recommend
this song because it is understandable that the context has been cleverly
disguised and is intended to be viewed from many perspectives.
