Drifting (feat. Jack Berry)

In 'Drifting (feat. Jack Berry),' BENEE takes listeners on a cosmic journey that serves as a metaphor for the complexities of love and the human experience. The song opens with BENEE describing a fantastical adventure to the stars, where characters like a 'Spacegirl' and 'Robo boy' navigate their unique existences. The imagery of space and the futuristic elements create a sense of otherworldliness, emphasizing the idea that love and life can often feel like an uncharted territory. The 'magic potion' and the transformation of Spacegirl into a flower symbolize the unpredictable and transformative nature of love, while Robo boy's blindness represents the vulnerability and uncertainty that often accompany romantic endeavors.

Jack Berry's verse adds another layer to the narrative, portraying a character who is physically distant and emotionally complex. His description of being made of metal but having a 'heart of human kind' highlights the duality of strength and sensitivity. The longing and hope in his words reflect the universal human desire for connection, even when circumstances make it challenging. The repeated refrain of 'Space, we're all driftin' through space' serves as a poignant reminder of our shared journey through life, filled with moments of searching and self-discovery.

The collaboration between BENEE and Jack Berry creates a harmonious blend of voices that enhances the song's theme of finding one's way. The repetition of 'Finding our way' in the chorus underscores the ongoing process of navigating life's uncertainties and the importance of perseverance. The song's dreamy, ethereal quality, combined with its introspective lyrics, invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences of love, loss, and the quest for meaning in an ever-changing world.
