Liza Jane - VITAMINS
/COVID-19 has ruined everything but creativity. One thing that remains untouched is the music. Music is so important, it drives everything like your mood, your sanity and your life--well, at least for me. If you’re not taking advantage of this time to expand your musical taste then “ion think you quarantinin’’ right.” I’ll tell you guys a short story… just because I’m a nice person. So there was this person right? They wanted to be a supportive *hint hint*. They didn’t want to be a bum anymore. They really wanted to listen to new music but didn’t know where to start. They had no idea that I was about to plug them with this best idea they had all week: stream Liza Jane.
Be that person--here’s your sign (LOL)
Liza Jane is back with another great song that is just perfect for the climate of this quarantine. Some people are wasting their time and some people are making the most of it. Some people are even finding themselves and facing themselves head on. That’s what “VITAMINS” is all about. Word on the street is:
“Her bright yet haunting vocal performance pairs unexpectedly with up tempo trap-like instrumentals from producer ThatguyEli. With this unlikely combination of genre, Vitamins fosters the success of her performance and sound from her previous project with a newfound delivery that will have you wanting to press replay once the song is through."
Did it sell you? ‘Cause it sold me!
“Trying to be a little more sure of myself” is the very first line of the song. This is off top telling us that this one is going to be personal. The chorus takes us on a trip of Jane reflecting on herself. “Working on myself all the time, trying to play it cool like things are fine” is really sending me because girl, I get it. I think people often forget that people are always fighting battles against themselves. While no, it’s no one’s business, it’s important to know that while people are figuring themselves out, it is extremely difficult to hide that journey from others (referring to “trying to play it cool like things are fine). The chorus goes on to talk about more of a clarity moment where she is trying to figure herself out. She doesn’t seem to know what she’s missing in her life. She comes face to face with herself. She’s beginning to piece together fragments of her life and noticing that she still has a lot to figure out.
I think this is a really pretty song especially if you can relate to it. I think the song is very vulnerable in a way that’s empowering. #girlpower! She’s basically like yeah, I don’t have it all figured out but that doesn’t mean i’m not working on it. Me too, Liza. Me too. I think it’s extremely liberating to even have a real conversation with yourself. Recognizing the beauty of not knowing what’s ahead but knowing that you're worth more than what you've been through is a helluva moment. “Being played like a chess piece” is not something to be proud of but it happens to the best of us. Learning from life and applying it to yourself is key in the “self discovery journey”. It’s okay to not be okay sometimes but what matters is the way you bounce back. And in this case, take your vitamins. (get it?)
Ladies, if you’re in your feels, do yourself a favor and cope--with this song. Thank you Liza Jane for yet another super cool song! Check her out! #Supportthelocal! And it’s the song’s first day out so be nice, be kind and be obedient. Do what it is that I ask of you :)
