Loneliness and depression know no boundaries and their impact goes beyond the people battling them- that is why Deja Solo who writes, records, mixes, masters, and releases all his music by himself has been curating a musical world where all those people feeling the pressure a bit too much and battling all kinds of the storm can find solace in his endearing and deeply relatable melodies and lyrics. Music was there for him in his darkest hours and he turns giving back by releasing a new song every other week despite being in a full-time physical labor job.
This is what resoluteness looks like and since persistency sits at the threshold of mastery, his dedication and hard work have been paying off slowly but surely- he has so far amassed over 5,800 Spotify monthly listeners with his tracks gathering thousands of streams. And I’m sure he is so proud he is making an impact on his listeners, especially in these eras of crushing complexities.
The tune, “Weight of the World” is much more than the music- this is consolation for all those who feel overwhelmed and do not know how to free themselves from the engulfing and heavy weight of the world as it is. There are moments that the haunting dark reality dawns on us and we realize that we truly have no control, that we actually never did and the thought alone crushes us into broken pieces because we are so helpless!
The guitar intro is followed in unison by the wails of melody and the cinematic-like voice-overs that grow and glow in the background feel right at home in a listener’s heart. At around 0:35, the medley is unleashed with the deep-phased basslines blending with the atmospheric synths and other striking melodies with the guitars and percussions following in the background to design a timeless masterpiece.
His vocals are the heart and soul of this tune and the way the raw emotions are felt through his voice captivates a listener even more. There is a way his sing-song methodology fits so perfectly to this style of melody and the catchy lines comfort a listener in more ways than you could imagine, “All the weight of the world on my head and shoulders, when will this be over!” hit you right in your chest!
