What song feels like a secret between you and the artist?
What a tough prompt. I felt like I had to pick a singer-songwriter for this one... I felt weird picking a hardcore song or something more aggressive. That kind of music certainly doesn't feel like a secret!
So, I went with one of my favorite songs from Indigo Sparke.
The lyrics speak to me... she touches on that feeling when things are kind of questionable/shaky and there's a lot of self talk... the anxiety of not knowing if things will work out... that feeling of being a little lost and unsure, but eventually making it through... and being able to breathe again.
I can certainly think of a few periods in my life where this feeling was prevalent, so hearing it in song form feels very validating.
When no one is around The conversation with myself The big old house is talking Smoke dancing in the wind
Time is a circle and time is a cage I got lost in the void, but now I burn I burn through
Wide mouth open Clouds fall, will you follow me? I've made it to the wasteland Of my forgotten screams And I'm alive and hungry I taste the salt of my fears All this holy silence in my bones I fall through
And there's a pressure in my chest A pressure in my chest Pressure in my chest, my breath
