Robert Blakely and Patrick Monnius, both from Nashville, lend their talents to breathe life into the track with their intricate performances on violin, viola, and guitar. Meanwhile, Mitch McLaughlin, Jude Icarus, and Foster Ferrell craft the lush cinematic soundscape, bringing the track to its full fruition. Palombo hopes that listeners will embrace the nuances of ambiguity and challenge the idealized portrayal of relationships often depicted in media. She emphasizes, “Relationships aren’t perfect, and sometimes you go through arcs where you’re uncertain of the outcome. There is healing in admitting that something isn’t right and working to figure it out.” Based on a personal journey, Palombo’s lyrics are sure to strike a chord with those who occasionally ponder whether the love they nurture will flourish into something great, even when faced with the harsh winds of uncertainty and doubt. As listeners immerse themselves in this track, they are reminded of the beauty found in embracing the unpredictable journey of love, much like tending to a garden where every bud holds the promise of blossoming into something truly extraordinary.
