Review: "Love You When You Leave" - Peachro

Peachro gives us a smashing fall indie-folk song. A touching letter to her best friend's ex-lover, Peachro warms our heart with her overflowing love and sentiment for her friend. We come to understand that the song is the ultimate defense of her best friend, and the perfect diss of the man who hurt the friend in question. One of my favorite lyrics says, "Cuz when you hurt her, I hurt too / Cut her wide open, out of the blue / Bought me a sewing kit / Stuff the love back in." I think this line further proves not only the depth of relationship between the artist and her friend, but also gives us a glimpse of how her friend was treated by the man that hurt her. Later in the song we're given even more context to the effort the artist put towards her best friend's relationship. We gain knowledge that she actively tried to build a friendship with this guy as well, but it never panned out. The song says, "I tried to like you / I tried to see you through her eyes / Came back with a cloudy view." Even after all was said and done the artist could never fully trust her friend's ex boyfriend. With good reason, the relationship ended and she will stand in defense of her best friend.

The tone of Peachro's new single is bittersweet and reflective, It signals the end of a love story entertwined with a farwell. The tone is a transition period between love and dislike. Whereas the mood is melancholic and cold. The mood brings a quiet, yet firm honesty about what the artist is feeling. As far as instrumentation we're given the perfect indie-folk vibe with the acoustic guitar and elevated vocal tracks which help build the instrumentation up at the right times. The lyrics and vocals tie everything together, giving the piece a universal sense of roundedness. The smooth and confident vocals add depth to the overall meaning adding the last elements to the song.

Peachro is an indie-folk artist originally from Chicago. She is currently based out of Nashville TN. Her favorite part of putting out music is connecting with others through music. Regarding the song "Love You When You Leave" Peachro said, "I like to write songs that connect with people through honest storytelling. My new single is really close to my heart. I wrote it after watching a close friend go through heartbreak. It's a letter to the man who broke her heart, full of the things I wish I could say to him." If you're looking for a heart warming best friend ballad, that also trashes on those who hurt others, then I'd recommend listening to Peachro's new song!
