Fall into the best life has to offer with Maggie Andrew’s latest single “Fall Like a Feather”. Andrew utilizes strong qualities of pop, indie, and alternative music to create an emotionally intriguing, powerful song. “Fall Like a Feather” puts listeners in the atmosphere of a wide, open field – somewhere free to roam and embrace the sweet, simple beauties of the world. Andrew places specific imagery throughout the song that morphs your environment into another, showcasing the full nature of “Fall Like a Feather”. The song, to its core, is about empowerment and accepting one’s full & widespread potential. Phrases such as, “I’ll put on my armor,” and, “I fall like a feather”, both repeated for emphasis in the song, proudly and visually display to listeners what resilience and belief in oneself can look like. Andrew wonderfully balances keeping the song upbeat in sound and being honest regarding hardship, creating a song that is to stick in the realm of pop music.
“Fall Like a Feather” is a personal, detailed song regarding mental health. The introduction of the song details how Andrew has struggled with being put in the spotlight, trusting others, pushing past her limit, etc. She doesn’t shy away from bringing listeners into her world and being vulnerable, putting it out on the table to lead toward brighter possibilities. Her vulnerability and trust in her own self is what propels her forward, as well as what shifts the overall tone of “Fall Like a Feather”. There is emphasis placed, not on the past, but on the fact that she is a fighter and knows how to protect herself. While that in itself is enthralling and powerful, Andrew’s ability to tie in raw emotion and ear-catching sound creates a well-rounded tune through “Fall Like a Feather”.
