"Whatever We Are" is a poignant original song that grapples with the weighty themes of life and death, inspired by the Latin phrase "memento mori" which translates to "remember you will die." Despite its somber origins, the song offers a glimmer of hope and introspection, challenging the notion of death as a finality and inviting listeners to embrace life's journey with courage and resilience. Originally written for the play "Memento Mori," the song serves as a powerful reflection on the transient nature of existence and the myriad interpretations of what it means to be alive. Through its evocative lyrics and emotive melody, "Whatever We Are" navigates the complexities of mortality with grace and sensitivity, offering solace and understanding to those who contemplate life's inevitable end. While the title may evoke a sense of bleakness, the song itself is anything but. It serves as a reminder that death is not the end, but rather a natural part of the human experience. By exploring themes of life, death, and the journey in between, "Whatever We Are" encourages listeners to cherish each moment and embrace the beauty of existence, knowing that in the end, it is not the destination that defines us, but the journey itself.
