Taste Test: Imogen Clark has some wisdom for anyone in an abusive relationship in ‘Eat You Alive’
The singer/songwriter sits her past self down for a conversation
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Imogen Clark wastes no time in getting down to business – from the first lines of “Eat You Alive” she is poignant, empathetic and ruthlessly honest. “Pretending that you’re wrong/so you don’t hurt his pride/losing yourself/and calling compromise/oh I’m telling you girl/it’s gonna eat you alive” she cries, personal memories lending weight to every syllable. Written with Justin Halpin, Clark uses the song to advise her younger self on the red flags she’s missed. The beat is slow and pensive, with the constant piano and vocal accompaniment building into a powerful crescendo. This song is an absolute must-listen for anyone wondering if their relationship is healthy.
