meg elsier Returns With New Song “meaning of life”
New York-based indie-rock singer-songwriter meg elsier returned with a new song “meaning of life” on April 8, 2026.
The song is her first new music since the 2024 debut album “spittake”.
Built on hazy guitars, delicate vocals, and her unmistakably sharp lyricism, the track captures both the intimacy and edge that define her sound.
It was written by Megan Elsier and produced by Ryan McFadden.
The track features Luke Prosser on guitar, Jashaun Smith on bass, and Hayden Cotcher on drums.
The accompanying music video was directed by Jacq Justice.
meg elsier said of the song, “'meaning of life' is about giving depression company. It’s being fucking tired, stuck in self-sabotage and procrastination, feeling nothing and living vicariously through other people instead. It’s a pretty goddamn selfish song.”- She continued, “It’s also about ruining normal, sweet moments with nihilistic thoughts, like what happens when I die while I’m trying to find that a Bed Bath & Beyond coupon. There’s no reason to it. And if there’s no reason to it, then maybe there’s no reason to me. It’s about the freedom and relief in realizing that maybe it’s not about everything being meaningless, but about how hard it is to find meaning when there’s no reason to it.”
