Growchild - Enough Said: An Ode To My Broken Heart (EP)
Part of growth is learning to let go & that's precisely what Growchild. is attempting to do here with his latest ode to his broken heart. It's a poignantly meditative EP consisting of 3 songs that'll hopefully anneal the glass of it back together; letting go is something I personally struggle immensely with, so I can only imagine having to let go of a fiancé. I've only been having to let go of a girlfriend, but I'm already aware of how much my heart will hurt delving into these numbers & I wonder who's voice that is at the beginning cause of the words she's speaking, really yanking on my heartstrings. If you love something, you have to let it go & if it comes back, it was meant & that message really prompted me to heed that cliche.
Of course, though, I relate so much to his confusion & frustration exhibited through the opener "let it go," that's like the tallest of orders to let loose on your grip of somebody. It happens out of nowhere sometimes, it was surely my case & now all I'm left doing is reflecting on what was & what could've been, praying to God, which I've never been one to do, that eventually, he'll make it to where we can start anew. Still, I feel like he is; none of it is sure & certainly is not in our control. It could be hard to express how fucked up you think about it without it coming off as a diss, but Grow managed to do that cause you can just feel the sincerity in not only his voice but in words he's articulating so genuinely to you & hopefully her if this was to ever hit her radar.
Forgiveness is something I've also personally struggled with, I'm very easily hurt as well, but the pain of losing someone who still is very much alive & well, maybe even better off without you, I don't know, man, it's something else for sure. Still, it's honestly the only way you can truly find the peace I feel. Still, you can't just tell yourself that & not follow through on that promise every day; that's the hard part, but how intuitive he is about this situation. He has a somewhat clear understanding of how he feels about it all & his shortcomings in the relationship. I was always told this but, you gotta love yourself first before you can love someone else, "self-love" is the best love. Imagine two people who love themselves very much; it sounds almost as magical as this final song. It could almost be a swan song of acceptance, genuinely letting go & leaving it in God's hands, he'll know just what to do & we must be patient with him.
