Sometimes the biggest battle we fight is one we create with ourselves. No matter what you're going through, either publicly or silently, it's important to find something to hold on to. This something should be a sign of hope that things will soon get better. However, rebuilding yourself after a tough battle is often harder than fighting. You might be so worn down you lose who you are and picking up the pieces of what you have left can give you the strength to put them back together. Finding the resilience to stand back up on your feet is what makes you strong. Regaining the trust in yourself to overcome whatever weight is pulling you down makes you courageous. At the end of the day, you have to realize that you are your own friend, not an enemy. "Stronger" by Lucy Korts is the perfect anthem for reclaiming your personal strength and valuing your self-worth. Her lyrics convey that although you might be feeling hurt and angry, pushing forward and rising above the challenges you face are worth it in the end.
Not only is the title of this song "Stronger", the instrumentation and message of the track are strong and hold a lot of value. While listening, I was immediately focused on the prominent punchy drums. The layering of the piano tracks also really stood out while I was listening. The musical choices helped the song build sonically and pushed it forward. When Lucy sings, you can hear the vulnerability in her breathy vocals. My favorite part about her vocals in this song is that you can also hear her resilience and strength. Lucy does a great job of conveying the message of "Stronger" through her emotional storytelling.
