The idea of a fresh start is an exciting thing that so many people dream about, but the truth is our experiences follow us even into new paths we take. bedlamb's debut single, "My New Life" takes on the realities of embracing change, with unresolved feelings and issues bleeding into the present, ultimately displaying the importance of dealing with your issues. The song opens by drawing listeners into the speaker's change, with a mind riddled with confusion. With a profound metaphor, the lyrics "deep in my body's basement, you're taking up the space" hit hard, using the idea of clutter and deep-rooted physical restraints to capture the essence of unresolved emotion. This track tells listeners that you can't run away from your problems, inviting them to address whatever they need to in order to move on with life.
Resonant guitar fingerpicking opens the track with a glowing, somber sound. Nico's soft, breathy vocals work slowly through the lyrics in the first verse before rising high in the chorus as Jack's vocals layer in rounds before they harmonize in a hauntingly beautiful wave of sound. Gentle percussion works simply into the chorus, and onward as Jack's singing takes over the second verse. The way the singing dynamically builds creates an introspective sense of reflection, as a resonant power comes from the blending harmonies throughout the track. Fans of Bon Iver and Phoebe Bridgers will love the impactful confessional style of this alternative folk song.
