DIIV has released a new track titled "Return of Youth," accompanied by a music video filmed after devastating wildfires in Altadena. The fires impacted the band's frontman, Zachary Cole Smith, who lost his home. Despite the personal tragedy, Smith's statement reveals the song's exploration of hope and existential dilemmas, particularly in the context of impending parenthood. The writing of this song reflects his desire to reshape his perspective through his child's eyes, finding beauty in everyday experiences and grappling with life's deeper uncertainties.
i imagined seeing myself through the eyes of my child, a rebirth of sorts, laced with fear and insecurity, discovering beauty and serenity together in the simplest places.
the common thread running through the fragmented world of the album was hope. we've talked about it a bit. real hope, false hope, something to give your life meaning.
