Taste Test: Grace Gillespie struggles to grasp onto her dreams with ‘Goodbye’
The singer-songwriter makes sense of unfilled dreams with a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones.
Unquenched dreams haunt us until the day we die. Even when they sink into our subconscious, playing as radio static in the background, we feel it in our very bones. Folk singer-songwriter Grace Gillespie untangles her fingertips from an infested ball of mental anguish, uncertainty, and a dreadful collapsing ache. With “Goodbye,” she seeks to find rest from a world-weary existence. “I’m not afraid of dying now / I’m afraid to be alive,” she weeps. She buries her voice in acoustic guitar, and a foggy amber descends around her shoulders. It’s a rootsy performance that will latch on your ear lobes, making you question your own existence.
