Gold Lake - We Already Exist (Live at Degraw Sound)

about

We Already Exist talks about Carlos’ and mine’s decision to move to the US and everything that that entails in terms of moving to a place where you don’t know anyone (coming from a small community like Spain’s music scene where we knew everyone) because we felt we needed to explore new sounds and places in order to grow as musicians. It reflects the experience of moving to a new culture, with its lights and shadows, its hardships and joys. For us though, we chose to make this move and we were able to, as white middle class people that we are. But for many, many people that is not a choice, it is something they are forced to do, wishing they could stay in their own countries with their families and customs and the way of life they have always lived. So, I have always thought of this song as a sort of lament for those who don’t want to but must flee their places of origin to seek human kindness elsewhere, and unfortunately many, many, many times don’t find it. This subject strikes close to home for us and so we had already collaborated with Amnesty International by recording a live cover of Love’s Alone Again Or, on youtube for an event to raise awareness about the human rights of migrant people. We Already Exist is our personal and humble attempt at describing change in this regard.

Ok, so that’s my political rant. Let’s hope this new individual you are unfortunately going to have to receive as president in a few days won’t actually act on his preposterous promises regarding immigrants in the US.
