In this third and last single before the full album drops; multi-instrumentalist, vocalist & producer Folly Tree steps into the unknown: “How I got here, I can’t tell…” as gently-plucked guitar and strings blossom around her. Folly Tree manages to create mesmerizing, deep atmospheres that touch challenging subjects.
The song examines feelings of isolation after experiencing trauma — and the satisfaction of survival that can follow. The song’s video, which Alex dreamt up and co-produced, illustrates the push and pull of these emotions. She awakens in a tower, free from time and space, but a presence from the past holds her back. By the time she sings “I’m more alone than I appear,” it’s not a plea, it’s a proud declaration.
