The artist shares, “I want to tell of the overwhelming feelings that come with newfound knowledge. It leads to the question of how one continues to live when one begins to look closely.” This reflective journey gave rise to the track itself, where tumultuous emotions meet the softness of feather beds.
In overwhelming moments, it takes time to listen to oneself. “Und nu,” the second collaborative release of saint josy and John Bonjorno, explores the moment when the repressed becomes palpable—when vague shame transitions into careful understanding. The song begins quietly and mysteriously, with a Reggaeton beat that drifts over like a distant dream: gentle, yet with an unstoppable bounce. Backing vocals accompany this journey, whispering the inner conflict with phrases like, “What you feel may be quite exhausting right now, but take your time to listen within—and perhaps you will know what it asks of you.”
As memories surface, transformation occurs: “It has been so long, yet now you remember.” The song evolves, and the serene, mystical flow abruptly shifts. The music grows more dynamic and fierce, as if the urge to break free pushes through the sound itself. Questions pierce the atmosphere with increasing intensity: “Can you live this way? Must you forgive yourself or them?”
“Und nu” recounts the overwhelming nature of acquiring new knowledge, pondering how one moves forward when one starts to truly see. It is a song that resides in the space between tranquillity and resistance, retreat and confrontation.
The forthcoming EP “Rote Wangen,” set to release this year, continues this energetic narrative. It encapsulates the inner turmoil, ranging from delicate reflection to the transformative power of departure. This track compels listeners to pause, all while igniting the courage to confront one’s own questions.
