Every now and then, a song comes along that goes beyond sounding good, it feels good. It doesn’t just fill your ears, it reaches into your heart, settles into your soul and lingers long after the music fades. Be The One by Ticket To The Universe is exactly that type of song. This song was released on the 8th of April and it is not just another Indie pop single, i’ll describe it as a work of art from one of Europe’s most intriguing voices.
Be The One is a rock pop tune but it doesn’t stay in that box for long. It’s a song that’s able to blend genres like a painter mixes color. There’s hints of indie pop, dream pop and folk which float throughout to create a catchy, deep moving music experience.
It’s upbeat enough to get your head moving and nodding yet calm enough to stir a reflection, a type of track that lives between a danceable dream and a hopeful sigh. The song feels bright and mellow at the same time. It’s a lot of things all at once; Fun, calming and emotional. You could danc to it or let it wash over you but either way, you’re going to love it enough to hit the replay button.
The vocals on this track are a highlight for sure. The artist has this deep, smooth voice that fits the song perfectly. His voice is warm and rich with just the right amount of emotion. His voice is one of those that feels like home even if you’re hearing it for the first time. He also layers his voice in parts of the song which adds this dreamy echo that gives the song a magical feel, it’s not just singing, he is telling a story.
Be The One was written for someone special. The artist calls her his muse, a woman who’s been through a lot of pain, heartbreak and trauma but who still stands strong. She doesn’t know how much she means to him and this song is his way of letting her know that he sees her and beyond that, he admires her and wants to be there for her.
“She’s the most beautiful and strongest woman i’ve seen” he says “I just want her to be truly loved“……….. This kind of vulnerability and honesty is what makes the song hit so hard. You don’t need to know the entire story to be able to feel it, the emotions are real and that’s enough to make the song feel personal even if it wasn’t written for you.
Be The One was recorded in the Artist’s living room with just a microphone, a guitar and a whole lot of love. The beat and other sounds were created using music software, but it doesn’t feel robotic. Every sound was created with care, it feels alive. Ticket to the universe says he does everything by ear, if something doesn’t sound right, he takes it out and tries again. This is what gives his songs that unique charm. Homemade yet professional and most importantly, it is real.
The song is about hope, strength and healing capturing what it’s like to care deeply about someone even if they don’t know it yet. There’s a magical feeling to this track, almost like a spell being cast. It feels dreamy, like you’re caught up in another world but at the same time, it feels human.
Ticket to the universe is doing something worth applauding in the music scene and he’s something special. He hasn’t performed this song live but that doesn’t even matter because music speaks for itself and this one has a soul. It’s evident that for the artist, music is not just a hobby, he’s living it.
Be the one is meaningful and made with heart and real emotion. Whether you’re someone who has been through a heartbreak, someone in love or just someone who loves good music, this track has something for you.
If you haven’t heard of Ticket to the Universe now is the time to start paying attention. I’ll tell you for free, he is something really special.
