After listening to a simple melody he composed on the piano, Yann searched for a theme to write the lyrics. Yann reflected on how the world is changing and decided to write about sexual encounters and more precisely fast-sex encounters due to the Internet. Hence, a song wisely titled Connected. “I am not judging anyone or anyone’s behavior, I am just explaining how I perceive the evolution of human behavior due to technological advancement. It is now so easy to just get on line for a couple of minutes and be satisfied with some kind of short-term situation a few hours later, no strings attached,†Yann explains.
