Louie Zong, the beloved internet sensation, just dropped a new single, “Upstate Anthem.” It’s got that Sims 2 overworld vibe, with bright, melodic guitars that whisk you away. You know, like a soundtrack for those small-town blues.
Here’s the thing: this track’s all about growing up in a tiny town and not quite feeling at home there anymore. The lyrics hit hard, capturing that bittersweet nostalgia: “once seemed so big, this little town / what’s left keeping everyone else around?” It’s like trying to find comfort in something that doesn’t fit anymore.
And then there’s the line, “what happens upstate / stays upstate,” which nails the disconnect between where you’re from and where you’ve ended up. It’s a feeling many of us know too well, right? Check out the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfOp2GW3ga0.
