Strawberry Launch invites listeners on an introspective journey with their latest release, “Emily.” The poignant track delves into the ever-evolving bond between two sisters, separated by thousands of miles yet tethered by a shared history.
“Emily” is a tapestry of woven synths and arpeggiators that create an ethereal backdrop for the lyrical narrative. Lead singer Riza draws from personal experience, offering a glimpse into a poignant moment from her own life with the opening lyrics happening in real life.
“My older sister still has this huge scar on her arm from that mailbox today. I’ll never forget all the blood.”
As the song unfolds, listeners are immersed in the bittersweet reality of siblinghood stretched across coasts, with heart-to-heart conversations confined to phone calls and video sessions. Yet, amidst the distance, there’s an unspoken understanding, a silent agreement that sometimes, words fail to convey the depth of emotions.
On the distance between her and her sister, she adds,
“We’ve been each other’s rock even though we’re thousands of miles apart.I felt so inspired to write about a relationship that was so strong despite being physically far from one another.”
“Emily” serves as a touching ode to the complexities of sisterly love and the resilience of familial bonds in the face of physical separation. It’s a reminder that even when miles apart, the connection between siblings remains unbreakable.
