We were all so innocent; our soft faces and soft hearts, delicate to the bully's touch. Hurt by cruel words and humiliation; the pain bright as a falling star. And we had nowhere to hide in those stumbling days of being sad and unable to tell. No one could see the crimes, the malicious intent against a child. It lasted for the age of the world, before you could see the world; and learn that not everything was like this - choosing you to suffer under the tyrant's selecting hand. The enigmatic Bad Bubble, in this moving, introspective piece, "At the age of Three", takes us back to his very early childhood; when, being small and not able to speak very well, he found himself being bullied by the other kids.
The track opens with all those ingredients required to reflect in music, how the trauma and memory of his experience through a devastation of kindness, must feel at the age of three. There are little chiming bells of childlike wonder, that instantly grab your heartstrings. A warm melancholic keyboard riff, leads you into the artist's searing lyrics; his recollection of languishing unseen in the shadows, hidden from the sun; too early to bask in the warmth, and too young, the battle to grow not yet won. A story of innocence and loveless years, with the good things in life still to come. Gentle violins, with their rising and falling sympathetic grace, enhance the highly emotive nature of this low-key, but also loudly resonating and powerful work; in how it succinctly deals with such indelible memories of a young mind. Bad Bubble's vocal, as ever, supremely honest and true; soars with vibrant emotion and equally engages with its ocean depths of heartfelt expression; fully encompassing and driving home his innermost feelings, on his track, ultimately his art's, true meaning.
As wonderful and as touched by stardust and dreams as a child is, the world has much to teach them; and sometimes the lessons begin with how cruel others can be. Little angels with time to fly; and someday when their wings have grown, they will. Here, Bad Bubble, in his constant and consuming desire, to connect in a very personal way to his audience; shows us once again, that love, caring, and understanding between one another, are what counts most in the end.
