Great song. Very nice guitar and very nice sound.

"Reconcile" fuses introspective lyricism with a mellow, funk-infused groove in the vein of Gorillaz and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song rides a warm, syncopated bassline and laid-back drum pocket, blending subtle electronic textures with organic instrumentation. The production is intentionally raw, giving it an authentic, slightly lo-fi vibe that complements its lyrical depth.

Zak Davis delivers his vocals with a mix of weary reflection and cool defiance. There's an emotional honesty in lines like “I used to think about drinking Friday night / Now it’s just stay alive” that grounds the song in real-life struggle, while the pre-chorus injects a touch of swagger and humor: “Still got low subs pumping in my trunk.”

The chorus opens up into a soulful and emotionally resonant moment, pushing a message of self-love and perseverance: “You got to love yourself before you can reconcile.” Despite its themes of fatigue and existential grind, the track ultimately lands in a place of uplift and human connection.

With smooth transitions and a consistent groove, “Reconcile” is a meditative, funky anthem for anyone navigating the quiet chaos of adulthood — one that urges you to keep climbing even if the mountain laughs back.

Lyrics:
ry to sleep but the pressure’s deep
Wishing you were someone else
Repeat each day into a ten-year leap
Without a good story to tell
Laughing at the mountain I have to climb
Can’t make good use of time
I used to think about drinking Friday night
Now it’s just stay alive

I’m a little older but wiser
Still running on a hamster wheel
Everybody works hard to go nowhere fast
Trying to make it up that hill
There’s an old man in the mirror
But the same young soul is felt
Try to do right and stay in that fight
Playing with the cards your dealt

Pre-Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the one that survives them all
I got gray hair, I got some chunk
Still got low subs pumping in my trunk


Chorus
You got to find a way to make it all worthwhile
You got to love yourself before you can reconcile

Love the ones who say hello
Never turn down a helping hand
Sometimes company is all you need
No words said but you understand
You got to stay in this fight for life
Trust it’ll be alright
If your life is darkness
Move it into light

Pre-Chorus
