![]() ![]() ![]() The stories in Anson Seabra’s voice have become something magical and powerful, a message for everyone who is trying their best with their lives: “I know it hurts right now but I know you’ll make it home” ![]() From a place of hurt, they gradually fought their way back to a better life that they deserved. “Keep Your Head Up Princess” gives voices to three brave princesses who opened up about their own vulnerabilities going through a tough time in life but thriving for better: 5 years old Alabama who was adjusting to her parents separation Stephanie, a single mom who worked two jobs and struggled to make it on her own and Ryan, a ballet dancer who suffered from eating disorder and decided to take time off to take care of herself. In “Magazines,” Seabra turned the camera to the inner struggle of a voice we all tend to forget in real life - the prettiest girl in the room, the model, the one on the cover of magazines, who no one knows or cares about beyonds and underneath the photo - the magic she has within herself and the way she feels and sees herself: “And she says, under that covers, I’m someone else” “Yeah, the magazine, don’t always tell the truth.” Seabra captures the loneliness they feel and the same numbing feeling “went from her parents old house to become a household name, it’s a whole new world but somehow still feels just the same.” ![]() The artist has commented that one of his favorite lines in the EP is “Lucky charms in the same wall, look for rainbows, but all the colors just go grey in the end.” As a songwriter, he is known for his brilliant, highly relatable lyricism that always seems to read the minds. “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring” and “Lucky Charms” are two of the songs that revolves around the time of awakening when Seabra was in touch with a darker side of him. It explores the attaching emotions, the familiarity, and the memories and captures that tender, melancholy feeling so perfectly.Īrticulating the vulnerable, darker times is another theme in Seabra’s music even though it might be nerve wrecking at times. The album opens with a heavier track “We’re Not In Kansas Anymore,” tapping into the raw feeling of nostalgia that a highly sensitive person experiences with change and new beginnings - leaving something behind, saying goodbyes, seeing it for the last time as opposed to the excitement and adventure an extrovert might feel. Feeling For My Life covers a wide range of emotions and experiences through nine songs that shift in perspectives. He brings back the magic, the tastes, and the colors to a mundane, stressful yet unfulfilling life and sees people for who they are, not just the name tag or definition the world labeled them, but the one under, who has emotions, naughty thoughts, and dreams. “When she was younger, she would pretend That her bedroom was a castle, she was fairest in the land And she got older, and it all changed There was no time for make believe And all the magic slipped away Until the light and in her eyes, it was all but gone ‘Cause all the dreams that she had, turned out to be wrong” Lyrics of “Keep Your Head Up Princes”įor many people, Anson Seabra is the prince in a white shirt who sings sad songs on a piano with a voice smoother and sweeter than candy and melodies flowing through the tip of his fingers, but if you dive deeper, the world looks and feels slightly different through his eyes. ![]()
