The track poignantly explores the weird pensive feeling we get when things around us change
The theme of growing up and the inevitable struggles and pitfalls are something that everybody can relate to and find resonance with, and on her powerful new single ‘Wishing Well’, Ava Valianti articulates some of these issues that she has gone through in this stage of her life with the kind of authenticity and heart that feels instantly resonating and real, making for a moving new release that continues to highlight the artist’s charm and power as a rising talent.
The track delves into themes like things changing around you, like your favourite places transforming or even changing into entirely new things around you. No matter how insignificant or minor these things might feel to people without that emotional attachment or the memories latched onto those places, it can still leave a weird feeling of melancholy and deeply affect us and leave a mark, symbolising how much things have changed since our youth and how different things are now, and always will be. This makes for a really thoughtful track that embodies a feeling that is hard to put your finger on, as we try to hold onto ourselves and who we are while everything around us slowly changes.
