Phat Brahms
Steve Aoki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Johannes Brahms is often mentioned
In the same breath as Bach and Beethoven
These models inspired him
To write some of the greatest music
Of the romantic era
Once during a rehearsal
Brahms said with great conviction:
Gentlemen
I'm not Beethoven
But I am Johannes Brahms
Phat Brahms
Phat
Kick it
Phat
These models inspired him
To write some of the greatest music
Of the romantic era
Phat
The lyrics of Steve Aoki's song "Phat Brahms" pay homage to the iconic composer Johannes Brahms and the influence that he had on music. Brahms is often mentioned in the same breath as two other legendary composers, Bach and Beethoven. These three composers were considered to be the pinnacle of classical music during their time, and their works continue to be studied and performed to this day.
Brahms was inspired by these models to create some of the most remarkable music of the romantic era. This line suggests that he was not only influenced by their work but was also driven to exceed their greatness. During a rehearsal, Brahms once proclaimed that he may not be Beethoven, but he was still Johannes Brahms, demonstrating his commitment to forging his own path and creating his unique sound.
The chorus of the song, "Phat Brahms," is an electronic dance music interpretation of his name, celebrating the impact he had on music history. The repeated use of the word "phat" adds an element of modernity to the lyrics, while still giving Brahms the respect he deserves as a classical music mastermind.
