Last year blissful voice SHARON VAN ETTEN recorded,
with equally magnific voice Angel Olsen one of the best
2021 songs Like I Used To .

Van Etten is back solo with a new little gem called PORTA.
She wrote the song in 2020 when she experienced one
of her ‘lowest lows.’

Van Etten: “For most of my adult life I have struggled with bouts of depression
and anxiety and coping mechanisms, and I sometimes let those dark moments
get the best of me. During this time I felt very dissociated. Not connected to my
body and I felt out of control… My message is to work through them. Even when
it’s hard. Even when it hurts. Reach out. Reach out to that friend who helps you
reach out towards yourself.”

Wanna hear myself, wanna be there
Wanna stay, but I don’t wanna leave it
Wanna hold head up, don’t wanna stay down
I wanna live my life
But you won’t allow

Another Van Etten beauty…
