Before We Die is a concept album/project by New Bongo Fleva Tanzanian artist George Gavin. This project is a triple entendre and revolves around the concept of young love. The first meaning is the more surface level one, It stands by its title, Before We Die…meaning the depiction of feelings/moments we live through before we die…falling in love, being in love, being detached, wanting someone etc. With this plot in mind, the tracks are very much intended to stand individually to signify different moments in your life. The second plot holds truer to the concept of Before WE Die. You know how when you get married they call you one? That’s the approach that the artist uses in the sense of when you listen to the whole tape from front to back up to track 11 which for the sake of concept is the intended outro (Never Again) it’s about meeting someone, wanting them and slowly falling in love with them. Being in love, reaching an all time high and climax and then drastically starting to fall out of love with that person…until you get to never again which is the moment the “me in you & you in me” AKA WE dies…so it’s sonically a documentation of young love and before the love between y'all is lost. The third plot is similar to the second but instead of it being long term as the second plot this is a lot more short term. If the second plot happened in a period of weeks/months, the third perspective happens in a night…and the WE isn’t the love between you and the person but the moment. So the project plays out as meeting someone (Searching For Love) and you spend the night wildin out and wooing them (JMY, Lamborghini)…even getting corny enough to tell them you actually feel something for them (Fallen Angel & LOVE) until the moment they let you go home with them and smash (Precious & Goodmorning). ATHP to Never Again are the moments you’re leaving//dropping them off and realizing it was just a moment and amazing though it was, the moment is over and done with (Never Again). Now the second and third plot can be linked depending on the listener’s perspective. When you meet someone, fall in love with them, imagine a whole life time with them and it doesn’t end well, you sometimes wither and draw back from emotional connections. With this in mind, the project almost plays like a vicious cycle, of falling in love and falling out of it (second plot) and losing yourself in lustful moments (third plot) over and over again until you find someone and fall in love again. And so the story goes…
