Othniel's "Vanity (Will You Remember Me)" is a progressive jazz piece based on the timeless wisdom of the Book of Ecclesiastes and explores what gives life meaning when everything seems temporary. Othniel conveys the theme through beauty, with rich instrumental textures that create an atmosphere that balances romance and self-reflection, allowing the music to express as much emotion as the words themselves.
The result is a piece that is both reflective and easy to understand, introspective, and still warm. "Vanity (Will You Remember Me)" makes the point that life can become empty if it doesn't have a higher purpose. The song prompts people to think and encourages them to consider the question rather than rush to an answer.
The progressive jazz foundation makes it easy to write music that changes the mood while still keeping the whole thing together. The melodies fit the song's theme of memory and transience. Everything is perfectly placed, which adds to the feeling of understated elegance. "Vanity (Will You Remember Me)" changes the focus from the fear of being forgotten to understanding what really lasts. This serves as a reminder that music is both art and a way to think about yourself. It gives you a chance to think about life's deep questions on your own terms.
