Song Meaning of “Groovelock – Deepchord Centrum Remix” by Slam
Groovelock is a testament to the duality of life. It speaks to the way that the mundane minutia of day to day living can provide the same freedom and joy that more adventurous experiences can. It serves as a reminder that our lives are made up of a substance more substantive than mere pleasure or materialistic pursuits.
The song’s title, “Groovelock” refers to when a team in a game that involves physical motion locks together to achieve a solid unity. In the same way, we can feel lockstep with life when our attentions turn to the deepest of grooves- a state of mind and being in which we, unified, truly feel alive.
The Deepchord Centrum Remix’s production is a loving ode to this groove. Its bass line meanders in and out, like life coming and going and its vibraphone melody subtly reminds us of the beauty that lies beneath what may appear to be the mundane. The samples, with their mellowed out funk feels, add an element of nostalgia that parallels our emotional connection with our past experiences.
Groovelock is a call to arms for those of us who have been lulled into the routine of everyday life. It’s a gentle reminder that we can find something meaningful and deeply rooted in the mundane in our lives.
