sam marke’s delicately impactful release is a true gem. The lyrics are emotional and honest, making the song easy to relate to as you give in to marke’s pure voice. The more you listen, the more you surrender to the soaring effect of the song as it caresses you with soft production, a pulsating kick drum, a delicate piano, choral-like backing vocals, simple strings, and an expressively dispersed vocal line.
The lyrics clearly portray the thoughts of a person who’s concerned with being misunderstood and finds social interactions overwhelming. While these feelings may resonate with many of us and are common concerns, marke is actually sharing a deeper story – the young artist is sensitively expressing his inner thoughts as a person with autism.
marke’s song is an open and honest representation of a person who can’t find a way to express himself, as he reveals the real-life challenges he faces on a daily basis. With the help of co-writer Jacob Mandell (Melatonin Girls, Tetra Collective), mixing engineer Joey Messina-Doerning (Maddie Zahm, Haim), and mastering engineer John Greenham (Billie Eilish, Sam Smith), Marke aims with this song to appeal to his listeners while spreading awareness and becoming a voice for autism acceptance.
