Meadowlark - What’s It Like To Love Me”
We do not know much about Meadowlark, but after hearing “What’s It Like To Love Me,” we have all the information that we will ever need. The bottom line is that their music has not only earned them a spot on our blog, but they have taken up residence in our souls as well. Allow us to explain…
“What’s It Like To Love Me” digs deep. From the very first strums of the acoustic guitar, you know that this thing has the ability to open some wounds that you’ve long thought were healed. And it’s important to note that some of these wounds should never be allowed to fully heal; otherwise, there’d be no way for the music to get in.
When the vocals begin, the listener is forced to look at themselves and wonder how their partners might find them worthy of love. It brings insecurities to the surface and will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt like an imposter inside of their own relationship. The kicker here is that this message is delivered to us through a very delicate and soothing vocal, sung by someone who’s been there.
The production in this tune is very raw and sparse, much like the love affair that it describes, with one side constantly living in self doubt and overthinking– the hell that is an anxious attachment style. Not loving enough… loving too much… it’s all covered here and listening to this song should be a prerequisite for all future relationships.
