MITCH EI's "Where Did I Go" is an ear-tingling, glasses-raising, got-me-giddy awakening. Originally an electronic track, this new live interpretation brings life to the tale and the struggle to maintain mental balance. Performed as part of the Aquarium Sessions by Mifal HaPais, guided by the artistic direction of legendary Israeli artist Gilad Kahana, this reimagining uncovers the song's soulful core in an explosive live-band form that is impossible to turn away from.
The brass line demands to be heard, offering a brilliant punch that serves as a perfect backdrop to the song's contemplative lyrics. The band revitalizes the song, making it tangible, immediate, and human from the electronic skeleton. It's a bold decision, and proof that MITCH isn't just reimagining his music, he's re‐inventing it.
The subject matter of "Where Did I Go" is palpable throughout. The music reflects the confusion and disorientation of a mind that yearns for understanding, yet moments of melodic clarity emerge, offering listeners a cathartic moment of closure. It's a reminder of that cliché that MITCH doesn't merely write music for hearing, he constructs experiences to be felt, lived, and inhabited.
The song is complemented by a powerful live video and behind-the-scenes footage, not only bringing the music into the live world but also providing insight into the making of the ambitious reimagining. Teased with a campaign, the elements surrounding "Where Did I Go" are not simply music, they form a journey into the artist's world on all levels.
