Featured Tune: "1997" from Às Vezes Eu Queria Ser Outra Pessoa

Time-Trapped Longing in Lo-Fi Tones

There’s a quiet ache running beneath 1997, the standout track from the indie album Ser Adulto Sucks by Às Vezes Eu Queria Ser Outra Pessoa. This isn’t just another lo-fi indie rock release, it’s a raw confessional wrapped in dreamy guitar haze and deliberate minimalism. With no flashy hooks or polished production gimmicks, the song leans into vulnerability, creating a space where melancholy feels strangely comforting.

Right from the start, there's a hazy warmth to the instrumentation, a kind of sonic nostalgia that feels like flipping through faded Polaroids of a past that never quite belonged to you. The track’s mood is subtle but potent, gently pressing down on that universal feeling of being out of sync with the world. It doesn’t push; it lingers, like a thought you can’t shake or a question you’ve been avoiding.

What makes 1997 especially gripping is how personal it feels, the musical equivalent of a journal entry you were never meant to read, and yet you do, over and over. You don’t just hear the song; you sit with it. You feel the lostness, the hesitation, the desperate yearning to rewind life to a point before the confusion begins.

Entirely self-produced, 1997 is as DIY as it gets  and that’s its greatest strength. It's honest, unfiltered, and disarmingly intimate. A true soundtrack for anyone quietly screaming inside, “What now?”
