Starting with a live acoustic guitar, Elihu Okay’s latest track feels like he’s playing right in your room. His performance sounds close, raw, and heartbreakingly present. The song is performed live, both vocals and guitar, and you can hear every ounce of pain in his incredibly emotional vocal delivery. Other instrumentation eventually joins in to amplify the track, but still, it’s that acoustic guitar and vocal that stands out.
“You just ignore me, it’s making me mean.” – Elihu Okay
A breakup song at its core, this track is soaked in grief. It captures the unraveling that comes with heartbreak, the quiet devastation, and the longing to be seen and understood. Lyrically, it’s poetry, honest and deeply human.
