"Nothing Left to Lose" by Natalie Clark embraces taking risks for the sake of fulfilment. Reflecting on youthful hopes and dreams, the song explains how the speaker's goals have been met but the gratification isn't all there. Lyrics like "all the dreams that are mine, bit I never find the courage or the time" express the reality that you can reach your goals without taking the time to embrace it. Pushing forward a message of unapologetic freedom, this song encourages you to pursue what really matters. In the case of the speaker in this song, that happens to be love. With powerful words of letting go from anxieties and "going all in" on what matters to you, this track is a beautiful motivator!
Growth and familiarity combine in the delightfully bright sound of this track. Natalie's singing is nostalgic and smooth, infusing this folk-pop song with a comforting quality. A gentle tune of fast acoustic fingerpicking and Natalie's soulful vocals begin this empowering track. For the last line of the pre-chorus, instrumentals cut out, and emphasizing the freeing lyrics, only the vocals can be heard. Bringing courage to the sound, violins and higher, layered angelic singing will uplift you through the chorus. The last verse closes the song as instrumentals dwindle and you are left to bask in the calming, evolved resolution of the lyrics. With a sweet, simple, and immersive tune, this track carries the bright feeling of growth in its sound.
