The thoughtful new single explores the lingering memories and emotions left by a past relationship
With the release of her alluring and thoughtful new single ‘Blackberries’, Vancouver indie-folk artist Micae showcases the most tender and haunting side of her sound, as she thoughtfully looks back over memories of a love that has long gone, and the beauty and nuance that remained with memories that she looks back over fondly.
The track has this really vulnerable, intimate and moving tone to it as a result, and there are moments that others grieving lost relationships will easily be able to latch onto and resonate with, such is the delicate detail and intricacy of the artist’s writing. There is a comfort in the warmth of which the artist has put the track together despite its bittersweet nature, and the way that it explores the little things that bring back these vivid memories and images feels both poignant and endlessly captivating.
“I wanted ‘Blackberries’ to explore how love lingers even as time moves on,” says Micae. “It’s a song about remembering someone who’s left an imprint on your heart and reconciling with the part of you that’s still connected to them. The person who inspired this song took me berry picking, and we froze the berries, one bag for each of us. But we broke up before I ever had the chance to share them with him. The berries stayed in his freezer.”
