Comment: There’s something about vulnerable songs that makes them almost magnetic, as if you couldn’t stop listening to them. Today’s featured song, Manic, is an example of that. In it, Faith Low sings about the struggles of battling mental illness and addiction in a way that makes you feel every single word. Musically, it’s a low-tempo pop song not unlike those of Lana del Rey, one of Faith Low‘s influences.
This talented artist had been playing in different bands for over 10 years but never as a vocalist. It was just recently that Faith Low decided to try their hand at being a #singersongwriter. Can you imagine the massive waste of talent if that hadn’t been the case? Faith Low clearly has something to say and the talent to be heard.

A hauntingly beautiful and powerful track. He names an interesting array of influences, each of whom couldn’t be any more different from the others.
I’m glad you liked the track and I had the same thought with regards to the array of influences. I was going to comment on that in the post but didn’t find a way to do so that satisfied me. Thanks for the support!
