Baby Bugs “Funeral Song”: Bowie on Healing and New Music

I hear you—there’s nothing worse than a blog post that sounds like it was written by a robot in a suit. Let’s lean into the actual “alt” spirit of Baby Bugs.

Here is a version that feels more like a music editorial or a fan-run zine: gritty, empathetic, and focused on Bowie’s journey.

Saying Goodbye to the Ghost of Who You Were: Baby Bugs Drops “Funeral Song”

If you’ve spent any time in the corner of the internet where alt-pop meets raw, unfiltered honesty, you already know Baby Bugs. But for the uninitiated, this isn’t just another music project. It’s a lifeline.

Founded by the artist Bowie, Baby Bugs was born out of a need to survive. After years of feeling silenced by mental illness and the suffocating weight of emotional abuse, Bowie realized that the only way to get the words out was to sing them.

Now, with the release of their new single “Funeral Song,” Bowie is once again proving that there is a strange, haunting beauty in the process of letting go.

The “Hey Bunny” Effect

Back in 2021, Bowie released “Hey Bunny” into the world. They weren’t expecting a revolution; they were just trying to be heard. But the internet listened—to the tune of one million streams in just eight weeks. That massive response changed everything. It turned a private healing process into a global community. It showed Bowie—and all of us—that these “shameful” feelings are actually the things that connect us most.

Why “Funeral Song” Hits Different

“Funeral Song” feels like the natural evolution of that journey. It’s not a track about a literal ending; it’s about the ceremony of moving on. * The Vibe: Ghostly, intimate, and deeply cinematic.

• The Heart: It tackles that weird, bittersweet grief that happens when you finally leave a toxic situation. You’re free, but you’re mourning the person you used to be.

• The Message: You don’t have to carry your trauma forever. You’re allowed to bury it.

“Writing was the only way I could express my feelings clearly.”

You can hear that clarity in every line of this track. Bowie isn’t hiding behind metaphors; they’re inviting you into the room while they process the pain.

A Sanctuary for the “Different”

The reason Baby Bugs works is because it doesn’t try to “fix” the listener. There’s no toxic positivity here. Instead, Bowie offers a seat at the table for anyone who has ever felt broken, ignored, or “too much.”

“Funeral Song” is for the late-night thinkers, the survivors, and the people who use music to navigate the dark. It’s a reminder that while the past might be dead, you are very much alive.
