Gatis Stūrnieks hits the pause button with "Stay. Theme," an instrumental whose silence speaks volumes more than many tracks do with lyrics. A bare and vulnerable work, part of the Muunroo project, "Guinnessonice" urges you to leave behind the social clamour and return to yourself.
At a time when filters can substitute for faces and validation is calculated in likes, Gatis is the antidote: vulnerability without spectacle, depth without drama. "Stay. Theme" reminds us that there's bravery in remaining soft, power in remaining true, and beauty in simply remaining.
"Stay. Theme" establishes an atmosphere that is both grounding and expansive. It's not a shout for attention but a quiet demand for presence. With that somewhat clichéd imagery out of the way, what helps elevate this track is how it casually slips in themes of individuality, empathy, and inner strength, turning them into a prayer rug from which the audience does not wish to disentangle themselves. Home Truths weaves a complex and beguiling spell that doesn't easily release you after it has all but stopped playing.
Penned and recorded in Gatis' home studio, "Stay. Theme" is steeped in authenticity. The track pulsates with purpose, delivering a potent message without saying a word. It's an ambient call never to forget who you are when no one's looking, to march your road without shame, and to help a fellow traveler along the way who might not be as strong as you. "Stay. Theme" Written as part of a longer work still in development, called "Theme," The single also gives us a glimpse of what's to come, an album that Healy promises will be more than just music, but a movement back toward selfhood. With this instrumental song, Gatis is creating a space of honesty, reflection, and connection.
