The Good Faith roll out continues today with Madeon’s new single, “Be Fine.” Further distancing himself from early singles like “The City” and “Finale” and embracing his new style first featured on Adventure, Madeon presents a ster, sultry side to his music.
“Be Fine” is impossibly easy to listen to over and over again. I’ve probably had it on repeat for 30 or more minutes while writing this review. It’s effortless. Madeon’s voice glides over the production with the deftness a Cirque du Soleil performer, and with the backing choir, this is truly an uplifting listening experience.
Madeon says the track, “It’s a song that I wrote about joy, but sometimes joy is dangerous. Sometimes joy comes from the wrong place and being fine can mean different things. That I can understand from my own experience and mental health challenges. If but whatever you hear when you listen to it is fine too. If you listen to it and see it as a celebration joy, that’s great, that’s what I want you to hear too, and if you listen to it and hear something else that’s very valued.”
Listen to “Be Fine” below. The Good Faith Live tour will kick f on October 30, more info HERE.
Madeon – Be Fine Lyrics]
Today the world is gonna do me right
The sun is rising in my head
Until I just cannot believe my eyes
And you tell me it’s another phase
Does it matter if it’s real or not?
I don’t think I’ll ever have enough
Make it so the fire doesn’t stop
Are you listening to me?
Don’t tell me that I might
I will be fine again
Tell me that I might
I will be fine again
Tell me that I might
I will be fine
Let my body do me right
I say
I will be fine
Can I make this my home?
I’m still coming into my own
“You can’t keep falling into my arms”
“You can’t keep falling into my arms”
But what is there is all that I knew
When it’s time to do what I do
It’s all I need from you
Say are you listening to me?
Don’t tell me that I might
I will be fine again
Tell me that I might
I will be fine again
Tell me that I might
I will be fine
Let my body do me right
I will be fine
Don’t let me down
I’m up again
I’ll keep it around
Another day
If I fall to the ground
I’ll come again
I’ll stay awake for a lifetime
Awake for a lifetime
I will be fine
