The vanity we see, we all share.
Is stillness but a figment of our imagination? Is silence unachievable?
PrettyGirlz by WILLOW.
There is so much noise around me these days. I have decided I am on my journey to peace.
The song is groovy and unique, and the message is real. The loose, echoed vocals create a casually dreamy atmosphere. With such a unique tone, the artist carries the message powerfully. Towards the end, we reach an almost-euphoric electric guitar and drum interlude; a very impactful piece.
In the lyrics, I find a search for realness and genuineness in a partner:
I want a girl who's got light / It makes me squint when I look in her eyes
Want a girl who knows herself
And also works to break apart the expectations set for girls in pop culture, with the first verse stating:
They want the girls with the hips They want the girls in the movies Want the girls with the prettiest smile Seemingly perfectly life, movie, movie Want the girls with the lips And the cascading hair Little do we all know that the vanity we see We all share, we all share
I'll leave the rest in your hands for masterful sleuthing.
If you click on the album cover below, you can listen or re-listen to "PrettyGirlz" by WILLOW on YouTube. Stick around till the end. It's worth it. The song also smoothly transitions into the next track on the album "Samo Is Now." Let me know thoughts, emotions, ideas, sparks, creations, or memories that come up while the instruments hum into your ears.
