Caleb Hart & Buckman Coe – Good Life
2 min read
Caleb Hart and Buckman Coe’s song “Good Life” is more than just a reggae song with dub elements; it’s a moving critique of the social structures that define our lives and the fight for justice in the face of hardship. This song transcends genres with its hypnotic beat, psychedelic influences, and engaging vocals to present a message that strongly connects with listeners. It’s obvious right away that “Good Life” isn’t your normal reggae song. The song, which was written by Coe, Hart, and Joshua Telfer and produced by Buckman Coe & Adham Sheikh, takes listeners on an unexpected sonic adventure. Dub-infused bass creates a fascinating atmosphere, while special effects are applied to the vocals to provide the song more depth and a psychedelic feel. The message hidden in the words of “Good Life” is what really takes it to the next level, not only the unique sound of the song. Inspired by the socioeconomic structures that uphold social unrest, war, and environmental damage, Buckman Coe’s lyrics strike an emotional note as he sings of the fight for justice and the false “Good Life” that falls apart at the first sign of conflict. The catchy beat of the song keeps listeners interested throughout, switching between hypnotic and dance-worthy sections that reflect the ups and downs of the social and political scene. However, the addition of background vocals around 03:00 onwards really gives the song a hallucinogenic and dreamy dimension, engrossing listeners even more in its immersive universe. The song “Good Life” closes with an acapella vocal performance that’s strong and unforgettable. It serves as a reminder that, in spite of our difficulties, there is strength in our collective strength and that each of us has the ability to bring about change.
