With “Life Is Easy,” Andy Frasco & The U.N. deliver a timely protest song wrapped in warmth, wit, and undeniable charm. Featuring Daniel Donato and Mike Gordon, the track blends laid-back folk with biting social commentary, offering a campfire chorus for a world on fire.
Slide guitars open the song with an inviting twang, pulling listeners into a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and immediate. Frasco’s vocals are relaxed and rootsy, speaking plainly and poetically about the chaos surrounding us. “They’re burning down the trees to build a new forest,” he sings, capturing the absurdity of modern environmental destruction in one powerful line.
With its singalong style chorus and group vocals, “Life Is Easy” feels like a communal release, perfect for shouting into the void or harmonizing with friends around a fire. The lyrics don’t shy away from hard truths:
“The water is poisonous
The government’s treasonous
There’s chemtrails in the sky and we’re all breathing it”
Despite the weight of its subject matter; consumerism, climate collapse, fascism—the song carries a kind of hopeful defiance. It’s protest with a smile, truth with a tune, and a reminder that sometimes music is the best way to speak the unspeakable. Listen to the song and the new album “Growing Pains” on Spotify now:
