“pip“ by Mike Lotito

“pip” by Mike Lotito is a poignant indie rock tune about growing and changing, and it explores all of the bittersweet emotions that come with that. Lotito created this song with his two seasoned brothers, and his debut single “pip” is the perfect introduction to his style. With high energy production and thought-provoking lyrics, Lotito crafts a sonic journey that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Prompted by his experience leaving his home state of New York to pursue the life he was passionate about building, this song helps the listener confront the conflicting experiences between comfort and growth.

Big electric guitar chords and a tapping rhythm build anticipation at the start of the song, and the sonic journey continues to get more and more captivating as the track goes on. Energetic snare hits, thrumming bass lines, and rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming form the backbone of the track as little electric guitar riffs provide ear candy. Crashing drums in some sections heighten the energy, while other sparse moments let the emotion of the narrative really sink in.

Lines like “I’ll always love you, but I can’t relate to you anymore” and “so it’s my time to go and keep the past in the past” show the new perspective Lotito is cultivating. He knows he has to leave behind the things he’s outgrown, but is able to remain grateful for the way those things helped shape his growth. For anyone looking to make a change, “pip” carries an inspiring message that just might help you take that leap.
