Ben Moon has released his latest track, “Seventy Summers,” carries a simple yet profound message — life is short, and we should make the most of it. The song serves as a reflection on the fleeting nature of time, gently urging listeners to appreciate the present and live with intention.
Ben’s music grows more resonant, echoing the sentiment: “There are not infinitely many summers. So make the most of the ones you’re given.” This message is particularly fitting as we reflect and realise that nothing is permanent.
“Seventy Summers” feels like an appropriate next step of the 24-year-old Berlin independent artist’s artistic development. Ben’s strategy is unique in a music world that is often controlled by algorithms and trends.
He doesn’t chase what’s popular or try to fit into a mold. Instead, his music flows from a genuine place, driven by his ability to craft pop hooks and create a sound that resonates on a deeper level. The track’s emotional lyrics, combined with its infectious melodies, makes it a captivating piece to hear.
A strong solo guitar section that heightens the song’s emotional impact appears at roughly 1:59 in the song. The guitar’s energy is complemented by Ben’s soulful vocals, which emerge as ad-libs, adding another layer of texture to the track.
This instrumental moment offers a brief yet impactful break from the song’s structured flow, creating a poignant pause before the music picks up again. It shows Ben’s skill at fusing melody and instrumentation to enhance the emotional effect of the song.
Ben describes his music as “foggy soft and yet razor-sharp” — a unique blend of warmth and clarity that defines his sound. While also inviting listeners to reflect on their own lives and embrace the moments they have.
