The track explores the artist coming to terms with a friend who cut her off with no explanation
Etherdene‘s emotionally charged and thoughtful sound is something that has always lent itself to emotionally resonating and stirring tracks, with her vulnerability and honesty bringing out the best in her writing and her sound, with her brand new festive single ‘Christmas Without You’ having a similar resonance and bittersweet feel.
The opening line “a story has two sides, three if you count truth” does the perfect job of encapsulating the feel of the sound and its sombre nature, with breakups and arguments often having two opposing recollections of events with the truth falling somewhere in between. The artist’s lyrics detailing themes of loss and having to come to terms with spending the holidays without who you expected to makes for really sobering and heart-breaking listening, with the artist cathartically exorcising the reality of a friend who decided to cut her off and stop talking to her through the sound.
