Hannah Sears gifted us a song that allows us to explore the topic of self-perception in a deeper way. We experience the emotions that come along with feeling like we aren't enough. There's a certain point in life where we begin to compare ourselves to others, and it can cause a form of self-hatred to be present in our lives. We connect with the lyrics that say, "I saw stubborn and stupid / And destined to lose this / Looking back I wish I saw it / Like you did," because most of us have experienced those same thoughts within our lifetime. What's worse is that we can use these feelings to put up walls and push others away. It can affect our friendships and relationships, Hannah Sears describes this very thing in the lyrics, "You saw forever / Put in the effort / I put up walls / Shut you out / We could have made it work / I just made it worse / It was my fault / I still don't understand how." The most important part of self-reflection is choosing the way you proceed with your life. You have the power to change the way you see yourself and the way others see you too.
"Like You Did" gives us the perfect blend of country and pop. Right out of the gate, when the music starts, we're met with the sound of the acoustic guitar, drums, and piano. The guitar and piano give the song a soft feel, which a lot of older country songs also seem to have as well. The drums elevate the beat once they are factored into the song, but not in an overwhelming way. When Sears begins singing the lyrics, it pulls all of these elements together, creating a soft yet slightly upbeat flow. Sears voice brings the perfect amount of country twang which allows the lyrics to meld seamlessly with the beat. Once it's all pulled together, this song invokes the feeling of reflection and looking back on the old while coming to terms with the new and all of the emotions that are in between.
Hannah Sears currently lives in Nashville, where she continues to pursue her dream of music. Her love for music developed at a very young age. She began writing songs at the age of six and has been working on her music ever since. Her mission is to create music that connects with listeners on a deeper and more personal level. Regarding her new song, "Like You Did" she said, "This song is a heartfelt reflection on how it's often easier for others to see the good in us before we see it in ourselves. As you listen, I hope these lyrics resonate with you, reminding you of the importance of self-love and understanding." Hannah Sears gives us music that can only be described as the warmth of sunshine on a cloudy day. Keep your eyes peeled for more of her work— she's just getting started.
