Today is the day. Finally. „Forever Futility, Futility Forever“ is out everywhere.
I know the title might not sound like a dance floor anthem – and that’s intentional. This is my song for everyone who keeps going despite everything.
The Core of the Struggle
This song was born out of pure exhaustion, defiance, and extremely fragile hope. It comes directly from my reality as an artist in this world.
Let’s be honest: Who among us hasn’t questioned whether what we do has any value? Whether dreams can really pay the rent? Every day we struggle with a world that constantly questions the value of art. We get tired. We doubt. And yet… we can’t stop creating.
„Forever Futility, Futility Forever“ is a litany. A statement. A salute to every single person who keeps creating against the odds.
A Flag of Resistance
I decided to embrace „Futility“ not as a defeat, but as our strength. This is our collective resistance. It is that crazy, unreasonable stubbornness that drives us, even when reason tells us to quit.
Long live Futility. This is the banner we stand under.
