If you’ve ever found yourself with the right person, who just isn’t the right person for you, you’re going to love “Icicles,” the new single from Darkinjung Country/Central Coast singer-songwriter Tiali. And even if you haven’t, I think you might find their powerful lyrics and vocals difficult to resist. It’s a slow burner, but when it reaches its powerful crescendo you’ll be so glad you took the ride.
Tiali set the song’s scene, explaining “You’re contemplating your future. You know the world is waiting for you to explore it. You’re in love. He’s classic, he envisions the picket fence. You’re unconventional, you envision anything but. You reflect on this contrast, voice your uncertainty, and go to your old room at your parents’ house to contemplate. He’s shattered. So are you. But the stone-cold wall he’s put up between you is what makes it unbearable. So much so, that it feels as if your internal organs are being penetrated by a million tiny shards of ice – that feeling, is what ‘Icicles’ is about.”
Despite being a fellow Coastie, this is the first time I’ve come across Tiali’s music. This song is so good though, I’ll be watching their socials closely looking out for some local gigs.
