Finding Our Way on the Road of Love: Audren’s "We’re All Lost"
Audren’s single, We’re All Lost, is an important example of what all Audren has been trying to convey through her music – what all Audren has been saying through all of her productions – regarding the concept of humanity and how she reaches out to all the lost souls out there. This single is more about the realization regarding being lost in a world that is full of uncertainty and chaos as opposed to the concept of escaping into another one. This single is not the type to emphasize the importance of being lost but to make being lost ordinary.
In the midst of this song, there is Audren’s realization about life: feeling overwhelmed, deceived, and trying all along towards an end, which is irrelevant to the mind and soul. Audren conveys the feeling of loss, which is not actually a perception or feeling of failure, as it is a feeling shared by all, trying to grasp it within the social, as well as individual, circumstances, where there is always a focus on trying to keep a composed attitude towards life. The song ultimately leads the listener towards the last destination, realizing that it is actually the power offered by love, which is able to make one feel complete.
Music-wise, there is strong craftsmanship involved in this song. It starts off simple with piano accompaniment during vocal confessions, which gradually develops into an interchange between the chorus and the music, clearly under the influence of jazz. Piano features prominently, integrating deftly with the guitar, almost in the manner of an intimate conversation. There is lyricism, perhaps due to the fretless bass, and down-to-earth drums. Audren sings with the gravitas of worldly experience, yet derives sustenance from his sense of composed impassiveness.
Improvisation is also a key factor that forms a pivotal part of the emotional storyline in We’re All Lost. Audren and producer/guitarist Chris Rime are careful about keeping a perspective through which the artists can harness the essence of this song, allowing it to develop naturally towards its end portion. The end portion can be identified as a means through which a certain level of resolution can be reached, wherein it fails to disregard the tension developed but is more towards providing a level of comfort and safety through it, where one can be safe, brave, and kind.
