Verse Vicer Reveals Latest Hit Single “Running”
Multi-instrumentalist and producer, Verse Vicer, takes centre stage once again with his latest single, “Running”. This track isn’t just a piece of music; it’s a journey through the labyrinthine corridors of capitalism, a haunting reflection on the shadows that dance behind office doors.
“Running” opens with an infectious groove, immediately drawing the listener into Verse Vicer’s world. The fusion of funk, neo-soul, and jazz elements creates a soundscape that feels both familiar and refreshingly innovative. As the beats pulse and the melodies swirl, Verse Vicer’s vocals weave a tale of introspection and societal critique.
The lyrics, cryptic yet poignant, invite us to peer beyond the surface of our everyday lives. “I’m running inside your head, I can feel you’re nearly dead,” Verse Vicer croons, capturing the suffocating weight of monotony and conformity. There’s a hypnotic quality to the repetition, echoing the relentless rhythm of modern existence.
But amidst the chaos, there’s a glimmer of defiance, a call to break free from the shackles of societal expectations. “Awareness of dream states and decay,” Verse Vicer muses, offering a tantalising glimpse into the inner workings of the mind. It’s a reminder that true liberation lies in reclaiming our autonomy, even in the face of relentless pursuit.
Accompanying the single is a visually captivating self-made music video, further enhancing the immersive experience of Verse Vicer’s sonic narrative. With its mesmerising visuals and evocative imagery, the video serves as the perfect visual companion to the track’s introspective themes.
In “Running,” Verse Vicer proves himself not just as a musician but as a storyteller, a chronicler of the human experience in all its complexity. Through his music, he invites us to question the status quo, to challenge the systems that confine us and to find solace in the rhythm of our own heartbeat.
As the final notes fade into the ether, one thing becomes abundantly clear: Verse Vicer isn’t just running; he’s leading the charge towards a new era of musical exploration and social consciousness. And with each pulsating beat, we’re reminded that the journey is just beginning.
In a world that often feels like a never-ending race, “Running” serves as a powerful reminder to pause, to reflect, and to reclaim our humanity in the midst of chaos. So, lace up your shoes, and join Verse Vicer on this exhilarating sprint through the shadows of capitalism.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
