3 min readCarpe Diem is a duo which is made up of Keith as the guitarist and Ada as the vocalist. Together, these two have been making some of the best of the best songs you’ve ever heard in your life. The duo is set for the release of their new single “A Fork in the Road”. People we even go any further let me just say, this song will definitely be part of the top 3 best songs you’ve heard all year and i can bet my entire mortgage on that.
This new single “A Fork in the Road”, is a song that talks about the meaning of life, the choices we make and the paths we choose to walk on in life. Often a time we choose paths that we don’t even know where it will lead us, but we walk on regardless hoping there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Life can hit us hard or can be smooth either by the choices we make or by the path we chose to walk on. But one thing is life is full of uncertainties that we can’t control sometimes but what we can control is our action in that moment. And this song gives us a full scale of what life is about. Sometimes sh** happens and that means we have to let it go, don’t change what you can’t change.
Don’t be making choices because all your friends are making the same choice, don’t decide because you’re under pressure, don’t follow the mass because they all going in a direction they think will be best for them maybe just maybe that’s not what’s best for you. Maybe in that moment you need something different, you need a different solution to the same problem, a different approach to the same issue. Define life by your own terms but never be controlled to make decisions, influences may come but he bold in yourself. Believe in your decisions, cos life can be cruel and life can be beautiful too. It’s a song everyone needs to listen to and it’s a song everyone can beautifully relate to.
