It’s more like this feeling that I'm floundering in the shallow end and there is an easy way to rescue myself. I merely have to stand up. But it’s hard to do even that when your brain i … | Continue reading
I noticed about "Human Heart" is that she is not speaking from the first person in this one. She is singing as a narrator in third person, yet she still delivers a very emotional performance vocally. That concept (the storyteller type) is a Folk music approach. Interesting. | Continue reading

Second track "Better You Than Me" is yet another fierce track of epic proportions that slams at us with a powerful vibrating sonic structure. Maybe it's just me, but this track reminds me of some good ol' 90's / 00's Rock. | Continue reading

This track focuses on the things humans hide behind for happiness — what they perceive as happiness.
