The Skinny Review:
The latest single from Canadian singer-songwriter Leah Martel shows more of a country sound than her previous singles, adding a southern, twangy twist to her indie roots. Martel is once again writing from personal experience, with lyrics that inspire a feeling of facing obstacles and not knowing if you can overcome them. The accessible style of the song is balanced perfectly with its depth, creating an irresistible sound.
In Their Own Words:
“Funnily enough I sat down to write this sad song at a point in my life where, from the outside, everything seemed to be going fine for the first time in a long time. I had just graduated, was in a wonderful new relationship, had started a new job in my new field of work and there was no drama. But I felt horrible. I was riddled with worry and anxiety and a sense of doom. Previous to this there had always been a reason for those feelings, I had always been going through a difficult relationship, job, living situation, etc. and I realized that, even with those troubles gone, they left a mark on me. Even with all the monsters dead a part of them lived inside of me now. I was just at the start of a mental health journey now and, for the first time, facing questions like, ‘can I actually overcome this or am I broken forever?’ I knew one thing only, I was determined to keep trying no matter what I had to face and that felt like a good thing, but also an ominous thing. Like I might just have to go through a lot more pain first before actually feeling better.”
