Welcome to our wonderful blog, where we feature the work of talented artists and superstars. Today our guest is the talented AMANDA EMBLEM EXPERIMENT. Amanda Emblem is a singer and guitarist who lives in Mary Valley, South East Queensland. She has been composing, recording, and performing in Australia (and abroad) for the past 20 years under various guises, creating The Amanda Emblem Experiment in 2017. This is not her first time being featured on our blog. Her EP “Farmtime” is a collection of songs I am still reeling over. On 25th July, she released a song called “Storm in my life”. Let’s talk about it
When the song starts, you hear a brief guitar melody before Amanda starts to sing. This alone is proof that choosing to listen to this song was the right choice
Let’s talk a little about the theme and meaning of the song. The song compares a romantic relationship to inclement weather (“you are the storm in my life, the danger feels so damn right”) In all honesty, Many of the things we humans crave (or are drawn to) are not necessarily healthy for us. For example, Amanda enjoys it when she gets flooded in at the farm. She becomes incredibly happy and excited for no apparent reason. She is not particularly fond of the constant rain that creates these conditions, but as the creek floods and the water rises, there is an unexplained sense of thrill and she is not alone. I, myself am like that with swimming, I can’t swim, but the thought that I would have to fight for breath is quite a thrill to me. People thrive on drama and we are just waiting for the next fix
“Storm in My Life” is an energetic blues/folk song. It’s a story of fresh love compared to stormy weather, with a metaphorical twist and turn from the first lyric to the chiming outro. Its hooks captivate you, as does its undeniable innocence and refreshing performance. While this is a light-hearted song about a stormy relationship, many people will connect because they have been affected in some way by the recent exceptional wild storms. The track, which is supported by Amanda’s powerful finger picking and acoustic blues stylings, includes harmonica and slide guitar.
Amanda was very committed to the theme of the song which is evident on the cover art, which is an umbrella. She strived to send a message to listeners that they won’t forget anytime soon
This song was yet another proof of Amanda’s exceptional talent and her artistry. She and her band make songs that are fun and profound. She is truly amazing but, don’t take my word for it, listen to this song for yourself and fully grasp the message and the impact of the song
