“Am I wasting my youth,” asks Cebu-based act The Midnight Greetings in his debut single “Youth”—out now via Lilystars Records.

The newly released track from Kyle Maraton’s solo bedroom pop project is a lo-fi number that “conveys the feeling of loneliness.”

Listen below:

“After enjoying the entire midnight with friends and strangers, you catch a 4am trip on your way home,” relates Kyle as he opens up on the relatable tune—a depiction of “Gen Z emptiness.”

“Suddenly, you find yourself alone, completely detached from the rest. Then, this surge of unexplained emotional bleakness leaves you in deep contemplation, dragging you into thinking about where life would lead you in the coming weeks or months. These pent-up emotions inspired the song to what it is right now.”

“Youth” is available on various digital and streaming platforms worldwide. PULP
