A few weeks after releasing the track 'EVE,' Pale Grey introduces us today to 'AMIN,' an indie pop ballad filled with emotion and melancholy.
This song is accompanied by a music video that immerses us in an intriguing narrative universe, where the fate of a quiet and withdrawn young man unfolds in the back of a bus.
The horizon reflects in his eye. The young man sees the road as his only escape from a daily life marked by horrors. His father’s voice is encouraging and meant to be reassuring, though torn between the pain of saying goodbye to his loved one and the hope that he might live a better life. We see shoes worn down by miles, and in his eyes, tears reflect the many hardships and atrocities encountered along the way.
Amin quietly settles at the back of the bus, a silent witness to his own journey. He seeks to fade into the shadows, preferring discretion, in the hope of finally finding his place in this new world.
The song is a subtle indie pop ballad, rich in emotion. Through a soft and melancholic melody, Pale Grey captures the essence of this journey, evoking the trials and difficulties while still holding onto a glimmer of hope. The entire track pays tribute to these life paths and the universal challenges faced by those seeking to rebuild their lives elsewhere.
'AMIN' is not just a song; it's a contemporary story that resonates with current events and the realities of our world. Pale Grey offers us a window into the human experience, inviting everyone to reflect on themes of exile, hope, and resilience.
By appearing in the music video, Yabsera, the actor, shares his own personal story. After traveling across Europe and accumulating around 3 million streams with their previous album, Pale Grey now looks to the future with new tracks that quietly speak volumes about their intentions.
The band will perform live on September 14th in Brussels at Reset for the Odessa 5 Years Festival.
