A nugget of kindness and understanding, ‘Give Me Shelter from the Storm’ seeks to highlight one of the biggest issues in modern times: political polarisation and radicalisation. Dharmika knows it well, reiterating the need for positive, open conversations that don’t just revolve around dogmas. Ever tried understanding an oppositive point of view? The American creative motivates the listeners to do so, crafting a friendly, relatable folk gem.
Built on acoustic guitars, harmonica and rolling drums, ‘Give Me Shelter from the Storm’ provides the perfect musical background for Dharmika’s nuanced lyricism, engaging in playful melodies and relatable hooks. The result is a piece that sticks around the listener’s ears for hours while encouraging self-reflection and discovery.
Speaking about the song, the American songstress explains: “Each side sees the other side as extremists, or at least, that those spearheading their groups or running their sides of the government are extremists. Everyone is dug in, and we all can find evidence for how we are right and “they” are wrong. That is the water that I was swimming in when I wrote this song”
