Sometimes, the best songs aren’t born out of pressure or planning, but out of pure, smoky spontaneity. That’s exactly how “Stoner’s Anthem” came to life – a playful idea that grew into a full-blown stoner song.
Released on April 20th, the unofficial international anthem for cannabis lovers, “Stoner’s Anthem” began as a joke between friends. Flipsn Springs stumbled upon a beat crafted by the ever-eclectic Cursive Beats – a vibe-heavy instrumental that instantly transported you to a hazy paradise. With catchy brass melodies, blunt-force basslines, and a groove that feels like you’re running barefoot through the Shire with a spliff in hand, the beat didn’t ask for vocals – it invited them.
Initially, Flipsn wrote the hook just for laughs, channeling that carefree, post-joint energy. But when Cursive heard it, the joke stopped being just a joke – the chemistry was undeniable. One hook turned into two verses, and the track began to take real shape. The lyrics are light-hearted, vivid, and unapologetically stoned: it’s a celebration of weed, munchies, fuzzy thoughts, and the joyful nonsense that surrounds 420 culture.
In the second verse, Flipsn even plays with national pride by flipping the opening line of the Austrian national anthem(“Land of mountains, land of streams”), blending patriotism and pot in one clever stroke. It’s a tongue-in-cheek moment that shows how deeply rooted – and deeply high – the song dares to go.
But even after the verses were laid and the beat was polished, something felt unfinished. Flipsn and Cursive knew the track needed an unexpected twist. The solution? A raw, polyphonic acapella outro. So they gathered a few close friends, passed the mic (and maybe something else), and re-recorded the final hook – layering voices to create a choral moment that felt intimate and open-ended. It’s the perfect “last song of the night” – the kind that sticks with you as you walk home, humming, laughing, maybe lighting up one more time.
“Stoner’s Anthem” isn’t trying to be deep – it’s trying to be real. It’s a stoner’s lullaby, a tribute to lazy days, slow thoughts, and the beautiful haze that brings us all together, even if we’re miles apart.
And if there’s one message behind it all, it’s simple:
Keep smoking. No matter what.
Stoners Anthem
