“Cosmic Freeway” is the outro to Yeek’s 2017 album “Sebastian”. This song captures the feeling of a second wind almost. This is a story of heartbreak and revival after a separation. The simple organ sounding keys Yeek chose to use for the main melody of the track set a mood of reflecting. This paired with the slow but effective percussion paired with Yeek’s harmonizing over the top is an emotional rollercoaster that takes the listener on a journey. This is a song you listen to loud in the car while driving at night. Yeek speaks on his past relationship and it having put him in a state of confusion, spending so much time on that one person that he doesn’t know what to do with himself or what his purpose is anymore. “But I still don’t know what my purpose is here, I know enough to know that what I think I know ain’t clear.” The track seems like it is about to come to an end but a beat switch happens. No drums just some pretty chords backed with strange electronic noises, and a surprise feature from Max of homestead pops up. Max is not there to sing on the track at all but he delivers a beautiful poem. After this Yeek comes in one more time to sing “sometimes I try to be a normal boy that you want me to be, but I’m sorry baby I can’t cause I’m an alien boy, I’m an alien boy.” This to me is a perfect way to end this album, if you are a fan of any alternative 90’s experimental rock I would definitely give “Sebastian” a listen.
