Moon Man continued

So what about love? What is this new song that has exploded on the internet?  Cudi revealed that this song was originally supposed to be on the Satellite Flight, but it was cut at final production.  He released this single on March 3rd, just in time for me to abuse the replay button for a week straight.  Not to be a comedian, but I LOVE "love." It is exactly what I and everyone else has been waiting for.  This song is special.  If there is a one word to describe it, it is special.  It may be one song, but there is an incredible amount of meaning stemming from this 5 minute 39 second track.

Right off the bat the listener hears the familiar haunting guitar riffs of Ratatat.  Ratatat was featured on his first album and I always wanted them to return to future albums.  The guitar riffs command attention and drag the listener into the song.  Upon first hearing it I told myself, "The man is back. He is FUCKING back!" As I said in the last post, I did not hate the filler albums, however I did want Cudi to come back with the sound I fell in love with in high school.

The song is special because it is a map to the release of Man on the Moon III.  Cudi stated that the album would be ready in 2015 and he has been toying with the fans issuing spoilers and pictures of studio time.  The release of "love." is a statement.  It says that Cudi is ready with the album, he is in the right mindset and is creating a masterpiece.  In 2013 Cudi had this to say about MOM3, "You’ll see it coming from a person who is looking at things from a more mature mindset, with more understanding and growth."  This album has been hyped up for a while for good reason. Cudi had a goal in mind with it and wanted to make sure his head was in the right place before writing.  I want to show you some lyrics from "love." 
                        
                                    Don't be so down, c'mon young homie
                                    You'll be ok, you'll find real love
                                    All of the stories, the hero gets lonely
                                    Now is the time to show what you're made of

These are the lyrics of a mature Cudi.  No longer struggling with depression or identity issues, the artist sings lyrics of motivation.  To the fans worried about love, Cudi gives them advice and words to push forward.  It is not a time of lows, but highs.  This song is special because it shows a mature Cudi, and a mature Cudi means a Man on the Moon III.  To the fans wondering where he went he sent a personal message by releasing this track.  Be patient, the album is in the works, and I am ready this time.  "love." is a teaser, something to hold people over until the ultimate release of the long-awaited album.

I am excited about the coming months and I will brush up on the story of Scott Mescudi to ensure I will be ready for Man on the Moon III.
