We’re all guilty of trying to hide from our own thoughts sometimes. It’s often our first instinct when times are hard. When thoughts we’d rather not deal with keep echoing in our heads, we resort to drowning them out; headphones on, music loud, blocking out the whole world, our own thoughts included. Yet in doing so we risk drowning out the good as well as the bad. The reassuring words of those that love and care for us can be blocked out just as easily. As hard as it is for someone’s kind words to resonate louder than your own dark thoughts, it’s even harder for them to register when they’re having to compete with the metal blaring out your headphones too. The new single from Norwich based singer/songwriter Kitty Perrin captures the frustrating feeling of trying to love someone through the walls they’ve built. What starts as a tender plaintive folk ballad soon builds in scope and intensity, with the overdriven guitar and emphatic percussion of its closing moments feeling like a last ditch attempt to be heard through the noise.
