YahYah, written by Aime Pandi Bapaga

"Yahyah" is a raw, emotional ballad written as a letter of heartbreak, forgiveness, and unresolved grief, the song reflects on the passing of a stepbrother — a once-hopeful protector whose actions led to years of pain and dislocation.

Carrying the weight of childhood trauma and spiritual reconciliation, Yahyah is not just a tribute but a release — a way to close a chapter when closure was never given. With ambient guitars, rolling hi-hats, and a deep, soulful atmosphere, the track speaks to anyone who has ever loved someone who hurt them... and still needed them anyway.

Philosophical Analysis of "How Much Does Love Pay"
________________________________________
Core Themes
1. The Cost of Love vs. the Illusion of Freedom
At its heart, the song explores love as a transactional and existential burden rather than a purely emotional or romantic experience.
•	The protagonist ("Baby King") initially lives with the illusion that love (and sex) are free, endless, and without consequences.
•	Reality shatters this illusion: true love or intimacy demands a cost — emotional, physical, financial, existential.
Philosophical link:
•	This reflects Jean-Paul Sartre's existential view that freedom brings weight: choices define existence, but every choice brings irreversible consequences.
•	It's also a play on Nietzsche's idea of eternal return — you cannot escape the consequences of your repeated actions.

2. Identity vs. Responsibility
The song paints the main character as "still a boy himself" while being a father to five children.
•	Identity crisis: he is biologically a creator of life, but psychologically still immature.
•	Responsibility forces him to confront a version of himself he neither planned for nor understands.
Philosophical link:
•	Kierkegaard discussed this tension: the leap from aesthetic (pleasure-seeking) life to ethical (responsibility-laden) life.
•	The protagonist is stuck between these two stages, symbolized by his inability to "pause" or "breathe" even as life demands he grows.

3. The Gothic Choir – Collective Lament
The repeated Gothic chant ("la, la, la... ohhh whoah...") functions like a Greek Chorus.
•	It's the voice of society, ancestry, or destiny, constantly mourning in the background.
•	It emphasizes the idea that his personal choices are not isolated; they echo in the wider world, in his children, their mothers, his community.
Philosophical link:
•	Heidegger: we are thrown into a world we didn’t create, and yet our existence becomes intertwined with it.
•	The choir gives the sense that the tragedy was set in motion long before he realized it — almost fated.

4. Money, Multiplication, and Loss
"Love was free till the bills had fees,
Now the only thing shrinking... are his peas."
This brilliantly condensed line tackles materialism and the harsh reality of economics.
•	Love seemed abundant and without cost in youthful freedom.
•	But with reproduction (both literal — the children — and metaphorical — the multiplying of consequences), the illusion of infinite growth collapses.
•	He is materially poorer but also spiritually poorer: "no sleep, no peace."
Philosophical link:
•	Marxist theory would see this as the commodification of human relationships — even something "free" like love eventually fits into systems of debt, property, responsibility.
•	Stoic philosophy would note how attachment leads to suffering: uncontrolled desire (eros) leads to pain when reality asserts itself.

Deeper Existential Question Posed
"How much does love pay?"
This is not just about money. It's about the metaphysical cost of intimacy, desire, and irresponsibility:
•	Love demands sacrifice.
•	Freedom demands weight.
•	Pleasure demands payment — not just in cash, but in years, sleep, identity, peace.
Thus, the song is asking:
Is the fleeting feeling of "freedom" worth the enduring weight of its aftermath?
What happens when we are children in the face of adult consequences?
________________________________________
✨ Summary
•	"How Much Does Love Pay" is an existential, tragic song masked in braggadocio.
•	It grapples with freedom, consequences, responsibility, and the price of youthful illusions.
•	It’s deeply Sartrean, Kierkegaardian, and touches on Marxist critiques of commodified life.
