New Instance

This track comes from Aaron's startup DNA — the philosophy that convention is just a suggestion. It tackles Celebrating the new version of yourself - the joy of realizing the reinvention worked, you're actually different now, actually better. The lyrics get specific — "The old Aaron would've never looked to stars above" — because personal tracks on Majik's are personal for real, not performatively. The dance-pop production matches the energy of the confession. It hits celebratory and confident, in that order. Every personal track in the catalogue comes from a real moment, a real feeling, a real person. This one is no exception.

[verse 1] Spun up a new instance of myself today Cloud-based confidence and a Folly Beach array Stransky's running different, optimized and clean Best performance metrics that I've ever seen The old Aaron would've stayed in a job he didn't love The old Aaron would've never looked to stars above And said I'm building something magic on this shore New instance running, and I'm ready for more [chorus] New instance, new me, running on new ground New instance, the old one's been shut down Everything is faster, cleaner, better than before New instance of Aaron, watch me soar [verse 2] DoD to founder, Navy to the beach Every pivot got me closer to my reach A-A-Ron two point oh with the upgraded soul Lean Six Sigma sharpened to a fine patrol OG Unicorn's the name on the latest deploy From a scared kid in boot camp to a man of joy The Unconventional Technologist in final form New instance, baby, I survived the storm [chorus] New instance, new me, running on new ground New instance, the old one's been shut down Everything is faster, cleaner, better than before New instance of Aaron, watch me soar [bridge] If you're stuck in version one, I'm telling you Shut it down and spin up something new The migration's scary but the uptime's worth the risk New instance, flip the switch [chorus] New instance, new me, running on new ground New instance, the old one's been shut down Everything is faster, cleaner, better than before New instance of Aaron, watch me soar [outro] Version two point oh Running strong No downtime
