Filiah Shares New Single ‘In Between’
Austrian singer and songwriter Filiah has just shared her brand new single In Between, the latest single to be taken from her first self-produced concept album, For Someone, which is out now via Mora Music.
I adore Filiah's raw, emotive vocals and how they infuse the song with a vulnerable and intimate touch that I find incredibly captivating. In Between is a song about finding yourself in a weird state where the relationship is over yet you still wish that person would come back, even though you know you can't chase after a ghost forever. This song is drenched with melancholia and raw emotion which is effortlessly conveyed through Filiah's vocals and intricate acoustic guitar plucks. I am also very fond of the lush strings and smooth beat that create an overall warm, melancholic atmosphere perfect for those cold, rainy days home alone with one's thoughts. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Filiah said,
I found myself in this weird "In between“ state, still wishing this "someone" to miraculously come back but also knowing that I can’t run after a ghost forever. Deep down, I was probably ready to allow myself to move on but couldn’t find the strength to accept that yet. Instead I lost myself in other people, trying to find something that, by then, was long gone- which is obviously never fair to anyone in the process. When I finally ripped the bandaid off and dealt with myself, there were a lot of things to explain. However, I also found so much strength in owning my vulnerability, which ultimately allowed me to take the first step in moving on.
This song was one of the first I produced for this album and actually one of the first that made me believe that I could pull off producing a record all by myself in my living room. So it holds a very dear place in my heart. When I listen back to it now, it feels really far away and also incredibly close to me at the same time. Still an "In Between“- state I guess, just a very different one.
