Blessed

FKJ's song 'Blessed' delves into the introspective journey of self-discovery and the paradox of recognizing one's own blessings. The lyrics convey a sense of existential contemplation, with the artist reflecting on his life from the vantage point of his mid-twenties, a period often associated with self-questioning and the search for identity. The repetition of 'What am I doin'?' and 'Who am I really?' underscores the universal quest for purpose and understanding of one's place in the world.

The chorus 'I'm blessed, But I'm not really aware of it, We're all blessed enough, But we don't really care about it' suggests a disconnect between acknowledging the good in our lives and truly appreciating it. This sentiment resonates with the modern condition where abundance can sometimes lead to apathy or a lack of mindfulness. FKJ seems to be commenting on the irony of having blessings but being too caught up in our own narratives or desires to fully appreciate them.

Musically, FKJ, also known as French Kiwi Juice, is known for his smooth blend of electronic music with soul and funk influences. The simplicity of the music, with 'Playing those same two chords,' could symbolize the simplicity that often accompanies contentment, contrasting with the complexity of our thoughts and the constant yearning for more. The song invites listeners to pause and reflect on their own lives, to recognize their blessings, and to find contentment in the present moment, rather than in the ceaseless pursuit of something more.
