We all experience the world around us differently. We could look at the same sky and see different shades of blue, hear the same birds singing two distinct tunes, or both walk away from a conversation with two completely disparate interpretations of what was said. Naturally we tend to get bogged down in our own version of reality, and rarely spare much thought for how another version of the world may differ. ‘Suburbia’ reflects on one of the few times where those alternate realities manage to consume our thoughts – reflecting on what went wrong in the wake of a break-up. When it all falls apart you begin to wonder whether all those cherished memories carry the same weight for the other person. If all the small moments that made your heart sing will be something they too hold dear, or whether they will even remember them. Wondering at what point they began seeing a dead end while you still felt like you were looking at forever. This wistful break-up ballad from New York based singer/songwriter Emily James, taken from her upcoming EP Summer Nostalgia out 15th August, brings a wealth of Taylor Swift energy to the table, as it reflects on how far the rose tinted past you remember may stray from what truly happened.
