Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Change is a steam locomotive barreling down the tracks. It’s coming for you, ready or not! Of course, time eventually reveals everything we need to know, and it is out of that well of patience and determination that we come to know ourselves and our limits. Asheville’s Americana darling Alexa Rose peers back into the past for a moment of clarity on her new song. “Like a Child” rolls together the lonesomeness she once felt, an uncertain future spread out before her, and how embracing those moments instilled within her sharper strength. “Someday, it’s going to be our turn,” she sings, guitars and drums tumbling beneath her. The burning in her chest soon explodes, and she comes to completely understand that the winds of change were vital to her evolution.
“Like a Child” is the second single from Rose’s new album, Medicine for Living, out everywhere October 4.
