It's hard to face a reality that we don't wanna know. When love turns to longing and change never happens, leaving seems like the best option, but loneliness is the consequence we're afraid to face. We waste our time on relationships that we think can get better, but time goes by as the light grows dim on what we thought could've lasted. Sarah Cowan takes us through a love that is hard to leave when being alone is the only other option. Even as the tears continue to shed and the light fades as we justify the heartbreak from someone we can't leave, isolation is a fear that keeps us in the dark. How many more chances do we have to give before we finally face reality?
An electric, deep beat pulls us into a timeless melody as "I DON'T WANNA KNOW" begins. Sarah's mellow vocals blends in with the striking melody as she tries to face away from the time she knows she's lost in a relationship she has trouble leaving behind. The heartbreak is clear, but the loneliness is a future she dreads, and she stays despite knowing it's time to go. The melody transcends into an airy and dreamlike state, and then continues into a commanding tone as the strong beat returns. It directs our attention back to the lyrical vocals that takes us to the reality that we try to avoid in fear of isolation. She continues to acknowledge the hurt that has been the result of the relationship, but she doesn't know where to go once it all comes to an end. Sarah Cowan's "I DON'T WANNA KNOW" is the song that will truly help us dance through the fear of choosing to be alone rather than be with someone we are done giving chances to.
