The beautiful thing about music is that its appreciation is based on the listener. Regardless of how bad we reviewers or critics deem it, if it strikes a chord with a person, all bets are off. 16-year-old singer-songwriter Edie Yvonne has a new song titled “I Might.” Join me as I review this track and explain why I’m conflicted about this beautiful song.
The track starts with a gloomy acoustic chord progression accompanied by a melodic minor acoustic lick that creates a grief-stricken feel throughout the overall track. The chord progression used in this track goes hand in hand with the lyrics. It’s dark, and to be honest, when I initially listened to it, I was stunned by how beautifully complex the lyrics are.
The lyrics of the track have a poetic feel to them with phrases such as: “I heard your bark but didn’t see your bite” and “This burning ground and stage, the air is burned with tired flames and all the sparks reach your name.“
The song talks about the complexity and other emotions attached to a past relationship, like regret and longing, just to name a few.
“I Might” is a remarkable track with poetic and intricate lyrics that highlight its artistic brilliance. While its uncanniness might challenge casual listeners seeking simple tunes, this track is a beautiful reminder of how music can inspire reflection and evoke a range of experiences.
