"I've Had Some Wine" by Emmalee Rainbow takes listeners through the life-defining emotions that come with the transition into adulthood. The song starts with questions that paint a picture of exhaustion and wondering about feeling fulfilled. The lyrics "I'm a child in a grown up body" offer solace to people who don't feel ready for adulthood. Progressing into the chorus, there is a heartwarming message to live in the moment and enjoy the process of getting older. Inspiring words come from the speaker's discussion of spending time with her friends: "I can see the wrinkles forming. I can see our story." The powerful message of this track lets listeners feel supported in their trouble adapting to the responsibilities of adulthood and motivated to enjoy the positives life has to offer.
Begins with glowing high notes on the keyboard before electric guitar joins the mix with a resonant sound. Percussion and Emmalee's mid-2000's-esque pop rock vocals begin the verse. Throaty and reflective, the singings shifts between gentle and raw, delivering an authentic emotional voice. The lyrics are slow and balanced through the verse, picking up in volume and pace through out the pre-chorus. Rounded vocals project throughout the chorus in a powerful expression of passion, and through the bridge, vocalizing on an "oh" sound offers a sense of comfort. The dynamic instrumentals and expressive vocals make this track an immersive journey of emotion and sound.
