Rothstein – Don’t Look Down [Single]

Rothstein pours fresh rhythm into the pulsating veins of with the track “Don’t Look Down,” a midtempo groover about life’s grind and wins, dressed to kill in cool retro synth patterns and chunky drum-machine rhythms. His feather-light yet soul-tinted falsetto sails across the wiry beat, celebrating the beauty of living life by the day: “One day at a time… it might not be much, but it’s mine.” The lyrics swing from here-and-now warmth to on-edge tomorrows – giving a little bit of both sides of the coin, but never too far down either side.

Spun within soulful meters, the verses voice the tireless battle to stay afloat in life’s unpredictable sea, always lifting our faces to the sky: “Soldier, it’s never gonna take you closer… try to keep your head above water, just don’t look down.” Rothstein teases at the undercurrents of isolation and exposed hearts with skillful prose, drawing a vivid picture of life’s nuances with lines like, “I’m closed off to my friends, but I tell secrets to strangers.”

With each soul-stirring note, “Don’t Look Down” etches a story of determination destined to touch any receptive ear. As anticipation for Rothstein‘s new album, How Not To Drown, grows, an uplifting shimmering message brimming with high hopes and a spark of optimism shines through. Set your sights high, gaze into the unknown, embrace the journey, and whatever you do–don’t look down.
