Poor But Rich

“Poor But Rich” is built around a deliberately low-fidelity sound, echoing the late ’90s and early 2000s era of 96kbps digital audio. It’s a creative choice that feels purposeful—calling back to a moment when the internet was expanding, social media hadn’t yet taken over daily life, and music had reached a point where there truly felt like something for everyone. 📼💭

That nostalgic texture becomes the backbone of the song’s meaning. By framing modern-day emotions through the lens of a life lived 25 years ago, Ex Veil highlights a contrast between material simplicity and inner richness. The track suggests that value isn’t always measured by clarity, wealth, or perfection—but by perspective and experience.

There’s a quiet commentary running beneath the surface: how far digital culture has come, and what may have been lost along the way. “Poor But Rich” doesn’t romanticize the past outright; instead, it invites listeners to sit with the in-between, where limitation and freedom coexist. The message: We might be broke, but never broken. 🌫️🎶

With s02: Infauxnet, Ex Veil continues to explore themes of identity, technology, and memory, using sound as both a time capsule and a mirror. “Poor But Rich” stands as a thoughtful snapshot—imperfect, reflective, and quietly resonant.
