School of X’s latest single, “I Wanna Dive in the Seven Seas,” pulses with an irresistible energy that grabs you from the moment the first strum hits. Blending acoustic guitars with ethereal strings, Rasmus Littauer, the artist behind School of X, captures that eternal tension between the humdrum of daily life and the urge to break free—to leap into something bigger and more adventurous. The song has a restless undercurrent, reflecting the desire to push past your limits, all while knowing you should probably slow down and savor where you are.
Littauer’s voice, cool and contemplative, channels this emotional tug-of-war beautifully. He sings of wanting more, of chasing after those elusive highs that adulthood often tucks away. But there’s a self-awareness too—a recognition that the chase doesn’t always lead to contentment. It’s this duality that makes “I Wanna Dive in the Seven Seas” so compelling; it's not just about the thrill of the leap, but the acceptance that maybe you can't have it all.
The accompanying music video, directed by Albert Hildebrandt, adds another layer of artistry to the single, as Littauer visually explores the themes of yearning and release. School of X is gearing up for the release of his third album, Seventh Heaven, on November 1st, and if this single is anything to go by, the album will be a sweeping, introspective journey through life’s balancing act of hope, risk, and melancholy.
This is music that doesn’t shy away from life’s complexities—an alternative pop experience that’s both intimate and expansive. “I Wanna Dive in the Seven Seas” captures a moment of wanting it all, while knowing it’s okay to just float for a while.
