Top Tracks: Ella Cicely – One Day

One snippet of wisdom that comes with growing up is accepting that there isn’t really an answer to that voice in your head asking “why am I here? What is it all for?“. Most of us don’t have some grand destiny that our lives have been building towards, no singular meaning of life which defines our existence. Instead of looking for a bigger picture, the key to a happier life lies in finding meaning in the small details. There’s just as much purpose in a life lived one day at a time. Yet even taking this wisdom to heart, there are countless ways to spend a day, a myriad of places and people to share them with, and only one life in which to live them. ‘One Day’, the debut single from Ella Cicely, is a tapestry of uncertainty that reflects on whether you’re living each day as well as you could be. Flitting between new places and new experiences, but none of them quite feeling like home. Being stood at a crossroads wondering if the happiest path is the one you left behind, or one still waiting to be discovered just beyond the horizon. Ella’s tender vocals and bittersweet piano balladry imbues her introspection with a haunting wistful haze, yet never obscures the silver lining at the heart of ‘One Day’; that feeling of home is still out there to be found, and there’s no mistaking the calm in your heart when you finally find it.
