Life-Changing Secret Is Revealed In New Song “Take It To Your Grave” by See Your Shadow

A Child’s Paternity Is At The Heart of “Take It To Your Grave” by See Your Shadow.

The best way to keep a secret is to not tell a soul, especially if that secret can bring pain into someone else’s life. This is the heart-wrenching theme of “Take It To Your Grave”, a songwriting collaboration between Michael Coleman, musical director of the multi-award winning See Your Shadow, and long time writing partner J. Richard Murray.

“Take It To Your Grave”, to be released on July 8th, is the lead single from the upcoming See Your Shadow retrospective, “From His Mind” which will be released later this summer, to include See Your Shadow’s greatest hits and some previously unreleased material. See Your Shadow is known for exploring themes that fall outside the norm by tackling complex emotions and stories showcasing the human experience.

In “Take It To Your Grave” the lyrics portray a story of a man who fathers his best friend’s son and the anguish suffered from not being able to reveal that truth.

Conflicts unresolved, So many lives involved, Can’t think about yourself, Gotta do what’s right for someone else – “Take It to Your Grave”

“Duplicity” by Freya Magee debuts a stunningly introspective anthem with split honesty

Freya Magee

With origins spanning from Northern Ireland to Melbourne, singer-songwriter Freya Magee, now based in London, is sure to emerge as a prominent music artist in the indie folk scene with her debut single, “Duplicity.” She asserts herself in the limelight with a charming voice that’s both featherlight and resolutely bold. Her debut single serves as a nuanced exploration of spoken storm, characterized by an emotionally charged and elegantly restrained vocal delivery that is achingly relatable.

Duplicity” elicits the feeling of a whispered confession cloaked in darkness, evoking an intimate, cinematic quality that is both urgent and contemplative. Magee’s vocal performance strikes an effective equilibrium between fragility and assertiveness, navigating a melancholic soundscape that producer Phil Taylor meticulously crafted at Laurel Sound Studios. The composition’s understated brilliance lies in its capacity to invite listeners to engage closely, as though they are privy to a private inner dialogue.

Lyrically, Magee explores the complexities of identity conflict with poetic precision, articulating the ache of aspiring to be everything, everywhere, encompassing various facets of existence simultaneously. One moment, she sounds sure of herself, projecting confidence; the next, she reveals a gentle struggle with indecision and uncertainty. The notable line, “dark on the left…, blonde on the right,” is more than clever imagery; it’s a visual metaphor for the emotional dichotomy she sings about. This duality is visually represented in the single’s cover art, aligning aesthetic and thematic elements into a cohesive portrait of self-contradiction.

The most noteworthy aspect of “Duplicity” is its authenticity. There is no posturing here, just a young artist sitting with her contradictions, thereby encouraging audiences to do the same. For enthusiasts who appreciate the introspective intimacy found within the works of artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, Gracie Abrams, Laura Marling, or the early compositions of Joni Mitchell, Magee’s sound seamlessly fits right into the lineage of musicians who find strength in vulnerability.
