Etaoin Shares New Single ‘For Her’
London-based Irish singer and songwriter Etaoin has just shared her brand new single For Her, a heartfelt song taken from her debut EP, Bedroom Walls, out now via Made Records.
I am a fan of Etaoin’s emotive vocal delivery and how easily it connects the listener to her brutally honest storytelling. For Her is a relatable song about the way life made you a different person and now you want your soft, old self back. This message is wrapped around a warm production packed with a delicate finger-picked guitar which beautifully backs Etaoin's tender vocals. I am a fan of the raw honesty of her storytelling and how it is enhanced by the warm and intimate production. This is a perfect song for those introspective days at home. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Etaoin said,
It’s about waiting and praying for your old self to come back, whilst at the same time knowing full well that the only reason she’s gone is because you stamped her out, thinking her softness was naive and weak. It’s about missing that same softness within yourself, which is safer to not show people. I want this song to say ‘I’m here with you, I know exactly where you are in your head. I was there too and it’s okay to feel like this’ to anyone who has felt like they maybe didn’t want to be here anymore. I want it to feel like someone squeezing the listener’s hand under the table in support, like an ‘I understand’.
