Heartbreak is never easy and the healing process is never linear. You can convince everyone you’re fine, but it’s the quiet moments alone when the tears fall and the loss aches all over again. No matter what anyone says, it isn’t easy finding yourself again after intertwining your life with someone else. Audrey Huynh released her new song “breathing” about the internal struggle of rediscovering yourself after a breakup. The track captures the quiet emptiness that flows in the spots they used to fill. Audrey collaborated with producer Jeremy Lawrence and together they made a sound that is immediate and emotionally raw. With a synth-pop soundscape and Audreys passionate vocals, this song is for the girls going through it.
“Breathing” is a dark, emotionally charged track that captures the disorienting aftermath of loss and the struggle to move forward. Audrey wrote from personal experience after heartbreak. Her relatable story-telling makes this song so easy to connect with. Most of us have dealt with losing someone and it can feel so isolating shifting through every high and low feeling that follows in the days, weeks and months to come. “I say I’m fine, but we both know I’m far from it.” The fears that you’ll never love anyone else to that extent and any future relationship will feel like a comparison game. “Imagining you instead of him, I slip up and say your name.” Audrey reminds us that we aren’t alone with the heaviness and we are all navigating similar experiences of heartbreak, reflection and growth.
