Farbod Biglari drops “My Past”, which is not so much a song as it is a time machine. Step inside, and you’re instantly transported to a realm in which nostalgia reigns supreme, feelings are raw, and the spectres of Pink Floyd and The Doors are carried on the wind. It’s otherworldly and intimate at the same time, like browsing an old photo album under a cosmic spotlight.
From the first guitar chord, “My Past” sweeps you in. And I don’t mean in the sense of “oh, this is a catchy song.” No, this is the sort of hook that grabs you by the soul and holds on until you’ve ridden out the wave of feeling clear to the bittersweet beach. Farbod Biglari has done something excellent here- he’s written a song that’s not merely about his background but, for some strange reason, about your background as well.

Pink Floyd, The Doors, and Farbod Walk Into a Bar.
One thing is certain: Farbod Biglari doesn’t merely wear his influences on his sleeve- he makes them a complete wardrobe. Spurred on by the space-rock grandeur of Pink Floyd and the poet-mystic boogie of The Doors, “My Past” is a Valentine to the era of golden classic rock. Don’t, however, confuse this with the tribute band; Farbod puts his own unique spin, mixing these classic sounds with contemporary sensibilities so that the song never gets stuck in the past.
The guitar work is barely audible but charged, weaving around the words like a counter melody. It’s a dialogue of melody and memory, in which each note is as if chosen, each harmony precisely placed. Close your eyes, and you can barely help but envision spectres of your own past dancing to the music, each step choreographed to the beat of your life.
Memories, But Make Them Universal
What’s amazing about “My Past” is the manner in which it is so deeply personal and yet so universally relatable. Farbod’s lyrics are literally diary entries made into music- raw, personal, and very human. And there’s something in the song that is almost enchanting that makes one think that it is singing about their own life.
Ever loved somebody with every ounce of heart and soul that their memory is an inhabitant in your heart for all time? Ever caught yourself retracing the steps of an old existence that you are certain you laid down? That’s “My Past” in a nutshell. It’s like Farbod peered into the common emotional hard drive of humanity and went, “Yeah, I’ll have all that and compose something about it.”
Harmonic Hugs and Whispering Guitars
Now let’s discuss those harmonies for a bit, shall we? They don’t stack up on top of one another- they ascend. Like wispy strands of cloud on a cloudy day, they create a mood that’s reassuring yet unsettling. Meanwhile, the lines on the guitars are fewer lines and more characters within the narrative. They whisper, they weep, they meander. The harmonies and guitars combined create a soundscape that is both expansive and intimate, a tenuous tension that Farbod navigates with ease.
Love, Loss, and the Lingering Echoes
In the end, “My Past” is a love song. Not the schmaltzy, hearts-and-flowers kind, but the real, unvarnished kind that stays in your head long after the last page has been turned. Farbod Biglari doesn’t maudlinize the poignancy of love and nostalgia. Instead, he owns it, crafting a lyrical narrative that is as offhand as a shared secret yet as epic as an eternal legend.
The beauty of the song is its emotional ambiguity. It’s profoundly melancholic on the one hand, a bitter and sweet pang that pulls your heartstrings. It’s profoundly comforting on the other, as being wrapped in the warm hug of an old friend. It’s a comfort that while occasionally the past hurts, it belongs to us too, a part of our narrative to be welcomed.
Rock Meets Soul, and It’s a Match Made in Heaven
It’s Farbod’s dedication to combining the rawness of the street sound with sage storytelling that makes “My Past” such a standout. This is not a tune- it’s a manifesto. It’s evidence that rock has the ability to be raw and soulful, gritty and poetic, really deep and totally cool, simultaneously.
And then, naturally, let’s not forget the production. The whole song is sonically a masterpiece, with every aspect of it composed to maximise its emotional resonance. It’s dense but never overproduced, with Farbod’s vocals and the narrative that they relate always in focus.
A Turning Point for Farbod Biglari
There’s a feeling that “My Past” is a new book by Farbod Biglari as an artist. It’s a statement- a declaration of who he is and what he believes in. It’s raw, honest, and intimate. But it’s also aspirational, striving for something more than itself.
In a world where so much music feels disposable, “My Past” is a track you’ll want to keep coming back to. It’s a song that grows with you, revealing new layers of meaning with every listen.
Final Thoughts
Farbod Biglari’s “My Past” is a journey through time, feelings, and the universal truths that bind us all. It’s a song that doesn’t just stay in your ears but settles into your soul, becoming a part of your own narrative.
So light a candle, pour a drink, and let “My Past” envelop you. It’s not music- it’s therapy for anyone who has ever loved, lost, or wondered whatever became of whatever happened. Farbod isn’t singing about his past- he’s assisting us in reconciling ours.
