A ballad that builds, that exudes emotion, that echoes vulnerability, and is finding itself as its singer seems to be finding herself, r.mason’s touching soft rock anthem on “I Live Here Now” is piercingly powerful. It delves into the sometimes unconventional ways people seek solace and understanding in a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, speaking to the universal experience of trying to find one’s place and purpose in life. Driven by traditional rock and roll elements, mason’s soft yet powerful at moments vocal skill is intense and rousing. That cutting electric solo at the end, the continually crashing chorus lines, it’s a riveting ride.
You feel yourself drowning in the emotion of the piece, the eternal message that r.mason’s bringing to life as you find yourself also lost in the confusion of the everyday and more. Uncertainty and feeling lost and purposeless today is a feeling I’m sure many of us find. This, if only just a little, helps you make sense of it all or at least come to peace with it.
