and hear these words that come out of those sounds. I think that there are different ways of writing songs: some people write chords and melodies and then they sing sounds. Well, the way that I write songs is heavily lyrically based. What is the significance of having visual art too? This ranges from music videos to lyric videos to content like the “Figment Of My Mind” video. For many of your songs, you release different types of visual forms of art to go with the music. To stay on the topic of “Just The Same”: in your interview with Bandwagon, you spoke about how you enjoy photography. It's an infinite subject, and it always needs updating. That's why people write so much about love - it’s the closest thing we've got to a meaning of life. I talk about an imaginary love in “The Most Beautiful Thing,” which is written to someone I've never met before. “ Cold Blood,” also on my first album, also talks about the type of love that's suffocating and strangulating. There's the saccharine cozy intimacy that I talk about in “Nothing.” But I've also got the darker, pretty negative, Stockholm syndrome style of love in “ Just The Same” on my first album. Yeah, I've written about love and different types of it. Is that something you consciously put into your work or is that just the way that you see love? Many of the most popular love songs are incredibly grandiose, whereas your music leans towards a more realistic version of love that can actually be seen and experienced by people. So many people connected to the song because you tend to have, at least in some of your music, a very realistic and modern version of love. So, it was quite nice for this just happen out of the blue. With covid and everything else, I never toured the second album I felt that album was never given the chance that it deserved. On a secondary and more selfish level, wasn't so lovely. It felt very appropriate that it was used as a celebration of love on the Internet. It’s a cozy scene with two lovers watching movies in their pajamas. I write like shorts with characters “Nothing” is definitely one of those. I have two types of songs: the first being diary-based descriptions of my feelings and experiences, and the other being mini-movies. I have nothing but appreciation and gratitude for the whole experience. How do you feel about having your song represent a wholesome trend and having so many people appreciate your music on a platform like TikTok?īruno Major: Honestly, it was a really wonderful thing.
