It’s probably just one of those strange coincidences that this song has appeared in advance of the movie The Bride, as it represents Mirah’s first release in seven years. Starting as a folky acoustic ballad, the song leans into electronica as the tune develops into an uneasy and eerie space. Mirah says of the track: “This is a pretty true to form ballad. You know. ‘A narrative poem or song which tells a dramatic, often tragic or romantic story in short, rhythmic stanzas.’ In this ballad you can wonder, is the singer the bride of the Monster Frankenstein, or the bride of Doctor Frankenstein, the creator of the monster? These two characters are often interchanged with each other, both accidentally and on purpose- I’m playing with that. And I am inquiring, what parts of us are innate and what parts are created by circumstance and relationship? What are the places of convergence between these three characters and what sets them apart from each other? You can also wonder, is it all as in a dream, where all the characters are you, or all the characters are me.”
