I find that I too often downplay the effect of being in a new space, and the importance of making your mind a safe home. I love songs that talk about moving or being in different locations. It's an experience that's all at once refreshing and empowering.
This time I know I'm back in my body," it's hard not to sing along and feel the healing effects of these lyrics. As she sings throughout the song, "this time I know I'm fighting. Rogers perfectly encapsulates this experience through "Back In My Body" and provides us with a powerful anthem of regrowth. We've all, at some point or another, experienced what it's like to finally feel like yourself again after a long struggle, a feeling of renewal that seems to come most often at the beginning of spring. Perhaps the beauty of "Back In My Body" is how relatable and adaptable it is. The joy that Rogers feels in this song is palpable: she sings the chorus with such conviction, and there is an audible sense of relief throughout the song. But "Back In My Body" definitely stands out the most as a song that connects to themes of spring and regrowth. For me, her music constantly brings up imagery of water and its cleansing properties. Honestly, it's hard to think of a Maggie Rogers song that doesn't remind me of renewal. But the music conveys all they need, as the synths bottom out and a simple, quiet acoustic guitar gives the chorus room to breathe, leaving room for it to grow. The crux of the song lies in the refrain “‘Cause all I need, is to see you blossom out, blossom out, blossom out.” The rest of the lyrics are… we'll call them impressionistic. Like Chicago springs, Milky Chance’s “Blossom” takes its time, then starts in the middle: “‘Cause I’m tired of all this talking,” Clemens Rehbein warbles. Enjoy it in the car, at the Point, or on a walk in this decently warm Chicago weather. With “Blossom” you’ll get a perfect blend between beat, bass, and vocals. It’s all about seeking discomfort and remaining hopeful about the possibilities. In my opinion, the song lyrics connect to the idea of spring quite literally. I’ve had this song as a go-to for quite some time now, and haven’t bothered to fact-check the lyrics until now, but if you are in desperate need of some clarification then Google away. While this technique might make it more difficult to absorb each song’s lyrics, it also forces you to focus on every other aspect that tends to go unnoticed. The vocalists of Milky Chance are among the many modern artists that pride themselves on a complete lack of enunciation. And oh boy, I can’t wait till you reach the twenty-six second mark and feel the power of the most subtle of bass drops. If you haven’t already, I recommend experiencing the beginning with a pair of headphones because the intro was edited in a way that magically makes the notes jump from one ear to the other. It’s a song best listened to with good company. To put it simply, “Blossom” is an underrated feel-good song. Although “Stolen Dance” seemed to be everyone’s stepping stone away from mainstream pop and into the genre of soft rock, some would say it’s on the cusp of being a bit too overplayed. I pride myself on choosing one of the band’s lesser known songs to recommend.
