Lisa Canny Shares New Single ‘Medicine’
Irish singer and songwriter Lisa Canny has just shared her brand new single Medicine, a brutally honest acoustic ballad.
I am really enjoying Lisa Canny's rich, commanding vocals which ooze so much soul and emotion, instantly connecting the listeners to her storytelling. Medicine is a song about how openhearted people can often be used by others who drain them of their healing energy. It reminds the listeners to stay true to themselves and how they deserve better. This message is wrapped around a memorable production that features lush beautiful vocal harmonies soaring over mellow guitar melodies nicely intertwined with Canny's staple banjoo and harp backing. This is quite a memorable and enthralling listening experience perfect for a laid-back, introspective day home alone.
Discussing the release, the Irish multi-instrumentalist explains:
‘Medicine’ is about when somebody comes into your life and uses your healing energy to heal themselves, in turn leaving you depleted and without enough for yourself. Because of the caring nature of women, we often get used by men in this way, particularly vulnerable men. But it can happen to all openhearted people. It's sad, but should remind the openhearted to stay true to themselves - as they deserve, and will find, better.
