Some emotions are subtle, creeping up slowly until they demand attention. Starved captures that feeling—the gnawing, insistent urge that builds and refuses to be ignored. Born from a real-life moment of hunger, this track mirrors the restless, almost desperate energy of waiting for something essential.
It starts with a steady melody, almost restrained, but as the wailer synth intensifies, the tension mounts. Each beat becomes more insistent, echoing the inescapable need that drives it forward. There’s a plaintive quality to the sound, a voice in the music that pleads, repeats, and ultimately overwhelms.
From a Simple Moment to a Relentless Sound
The inspiration behind Starved was surprisingly simple: I was working on the track when my kids interrupted, complaining that they were hungry. After pausing to feed them, I came back to the project with a new perspective. That moment—so basic, yet so universal—reshaped the direction of the music.
Hunger, whether physical or metaphorical, has a way of taking over. It starts as a whisper, then grows into something impossible to ignore. This track follows that same trajectory, evolving from a restrained introduction into something more pressing, more relentless.
A Sound That Won’t Let Go
There’s no resolution in Starved, no moment where everything settles. Instead, it drives forward with an implacable energy, mirroring the way urgent needs push us beyond comfort. Whether it’s hunger, desire, or any craving that lingers in the back of the mind, this track captures that restless pull.
