Childhood videos possess a unique cruelty—they preserve joy we’ve forgotten how to access, innocence we’ve misplaced somewhere between then and now.
Saguru confronts this temporal disconnect head-on with ‘Sunset‘, transforming an old recording of his younger, happier self into fuel for one of the most emotionally naked tracks of recent memory. The song operates as an internal dialogue across decades, gentle instrumentation providing sanctuary for brutal honesty about emotional darkness and the quiet erosion of wonder that marks so many adult lives.
Rather than wallowing in nostalgia or self-pity, Saguru uses his conversation with his former self as a starting point for genuine introspection. The calm, understated production serves the weight of the central question—”When did I lose myself?”—without overwhelming it with unnecessary drama. This is music for those late-night moments when the masks come off and we’re forced to reckon with who we’ve become versus who we once were. It’s a soundtrack for deep thought that honours both the complexity of depression and the possibility that recognising our loss might be the first step toward reclamation.
