Thank you to everyone who has been streaming and watching Loud and Clear the past few days since its release.
This song is about loving someone who ultimately doesn’t have space for you in their life because that space is already filled by someone else. It’s about wrestling with that painful truth while also still really wanting this other person and doing whatever it takes to try and carve out a space for yourself and make things work. It’s about ignoring red flags and all the things we tell ourselves in order to smooth out the rough edges of our humanity when they appear jagged and torn in that sort of environment.
The truth is, all people hide. We hide from ourselves, and we hide from one another. It’s human nature. For me, it can sometimes be hard to remember what I deserve, just broadly, but I think I often deserve so much more than I am willing to accept.
This song is about naming and reconciling that power dynamic and still holding tight to love — even when it’s not returned.
