Taste Test: Marinho reflects stark ‘Window Pain’
Lisbon folk singer-songwriter highlights the importance of pain in our lives with her second single.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones.
Scrapes and bruises are as commonplace, and rather vital, to childhood and growing up as the excitement you feel as the wind kisses your cheeks and the sun beats upon your forehead. We are creatures of influence, drawing the brokenness unto ourselves just as we do the cherished, liberating moments. Lisbon’s folksy storyteller Marinho (full name Filipa Marinho) gives herself a second to prance back into the shimmering light of her own youth and reminds herself of the now-faded scars that may have gone unnoticed. “Went into the window pane / From that time I don’t remember being hurt / Just the freedom in my shorts and an old t-shirt,” she scatters the images as crunched particles into the breeze of where she now stands. Marinho traipses propulsive and daring through the weedy growth of the past and underscores that pain is undeniably profound for living life.
“Window Pain” is Marinho’s second single, which follows “Ghost Notes” from March.
