Taste Test: Suzy V tells somber tale of spellbinding heartbreak with ‘The Bird’
The folk storyteller weaves a heart-crushing tale of romance gone awry.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Lovesick and outcast, Dutch/Sicilian folk singer-songwriter Suzy V stumbles into romance’s entrancing flames – but is quickly consumed with a love that fades violently from summer into autumn. “You’ll be the song inside my head / You’ll be the one I won’t forget / You’ll be my untainted man until the day I love again,” she sings on a crackling, devastating performance. “The Bird” is wrought with only a piano, whose sharp edges sever her heartstrings and suck out her very life force. Her voice, fragile and chipped, is a lone little sparrow who must carry the misery for the rest of her existence, or until it is washed clean anew.
“The Bird” is paired with a new acoustic version of her song “Storm Aside,” for an Acoustic Sessions release.
