Margot Polo Invites Us To His Last Year’s Dream Birthday In “it’s my birthday”
As odd as the title sounds, Margot Polo’s latest song “it’s my birthday” is literally based on a dream he had on his birthday last year. Despite the fact that our reality in 2020 was mostly isolation, Margot Polo had a very warm and crowded birthday – in his dream. Even his great-grandma, who is no longer on earth, joined the celebration. “it’s my birthday” is based on that vivid dream, a blend of chill wistfulness and woozy aura where the blissful acoustic chords weave you with the once-in-a-year euphoria of reaching a new number. You feel slightly wiser, feel more comfortable with your imperfections, and highly reflective…and your lower back hurts:
Speaking of the song, he commented: “On the morning of my last birthday, October 14th, 2020, I woke up from a dream in which I was around a campfire with all my close friends and family–including my great-grandma, who had passed away just some years ago–and we were all singing the chorus melody of this song. Entirely from this dream, I had almost the whole song: melodies, production, arrangement, entirely laid out for me in my head.”
