Rosie Darling shares, “Smoke & Mirrors” is one of my favorite songs I’ve written. I wanted this song to capture the feeling of not being good enough or the idea of trying to prove your worth to someone who is constantly choosing not to see it. To me, the lyrics carry this song’s story in that it makes the listener feel like they are there in real time watching this moment play out over the course of the song.”
