There’s an incredible amount of vulnerability and meaningful lyricism in Eliza Noxon’s material. Gearing up for her upcoming album ‘Monsters With Bad Habits’, expected on February 27th, the American songstress has recently unveiled her latest single ‘You’, a heartfelt, personal piece steeped in grief-stricken nostalgia and immensurable loss. Wrapped in intense pop-rock sonic energy and chaotic distortions, ‘You’ is a fitting example of a cathartic record; a release that, through honest personal expression, will soothe and aid its maker.
Delving deeper into the song, Noxon explains: “I wrote this song in a dark, chilly dorm room in May of 2021, a little over a year after the death of my brother. Thinking back to that time, it didn’t seem like a year had passed. The grief was still all-consuming; I felt isolated from the people around me, stuck in a loop of missing him, seeing him in everything, wishing I could turn back time.
The song is a darker, more angry version of my grief than I had expressed before, simple in its construction and lyrics, but raw in a way that I found difficult to access at the time. In writing this song, I found a way to scream and kick and channel all the rage and fear and loss that I felt into something I could use to connect with people.”
