Tom Minor’s new single “Is Everything Okay?” is a refreshing indie rock track that captures the struggles and self-awareness we often overlook in daily life. Part of his upcoming debut album ‘Eleven Easy Pieces on Anger & Disappointment’, the song cleverly uses an upbeat, feel-good vibe to tackle some heavy questions about our emotions and how we cope with them. The song opens with a question that hits hard: ‘If you’re unhappy and you don’t know it, what good is it?” It’s a playful yet profound reflection on how we sometimes go through life not fully aware of our emotional state. The song’s title, “Is Everything Okay?”, comes from a seemingly casual question often asked by friends, family, or strangers. While it’s meant to check in, it often invites a deeper exploration of how we’re really feeling. Minor’s lyrics suggest that the answer may not be as simple as we think.
Musically, the track blends catchy indie rock with elements of power pop, new wave, and a touch of punk. The guitars are punchy and energetic, with a rhythm that will make you tap your feet, while the infectious melody pulls you into the track’s uplifting message. But there’s more to this upbeat anthem than just its catchy tune. It’s about finding the lightness in everyday struggles and realizing that it’s okay to celebrate the messy, complicated parts of life. Minor’s voice brings an honest rawness to the song. It’s not overly polished but feels authentic—an expression of someone who’s had their share of ups and downs but isn’t afraid to laugh at the chaos. This track doesn’t shy away from the less glamorous parts of life, but it encourages you to embrace them with a sense of humor and an optimistic perspective. The song invites you to take a step back and realize that maybe, just maybe, things don’t have to be perfect to be okay.
The production by Teaboy Palmer adds to the charm of “Is Everything Okay?” with tight instrumentation that keeps the track moving forward without losing its emotional depth. The song’s layers of guitars, bass, and drums create a fun, energetic vibe, while still leaving room for the deeper themes of personal reflection to shine through. “Is Everything Okay?” is a perfect example of how Tom Minor can mix playful, catchy sounds with more serious, introspective lyrics. It’s a track that doesn’t let life’s complications bog you down but rather encourages you to keep going with a smile. It reminds us that it’s okay not to have everything figured out, as long as we can find joy in the little moments along the way.
