Anna Shoemaker Reflects On Life'S Transitions In New Track "Girl Song"

Anna Shoemaker's New Indie Anthem

Fresh off the release of her sophomore album, Someone Should Stop Her, indie sensation Anna Shoemaker unveils her latest track, "Girl Song." The song, released via +1 Records, is a soothing nod to everyone embracing the mantra, "I’m just a girl." In true Shoemaker fashion, the track pairs introspective lyrics with a captivating indie sound, providing the perfect soundtrack for those navigating life's unpredictability.

A Song for the In-Between Moments

"Girl Song" is a departure from Shoemaker's previous focus on love and heartbreak. The singer-songwriter reveals, "I’ve spent a lot of time writing love songs and break-up songs about other people, but ‘Girl Song’ is a song for me." She describes the track as capturing those in-between moments of life – pacing late at night, contemplating decisions, and the solitude found in unexpected places like a bathroom on a bad date or outside a party. These are the instances that shape us, surrounded by new acquaintances and tinged with nostalgia for old friendships.

“Ultimately it’s the realization that you’re on your own and yet knowing everything will be ok.”

Visualizing the Yearning

Shoemaker extends the song's theme into the accompanying music video, which she says encapsulates the essence of yearning. "I really wanted this video to encapsulate what it feels like to be home alone as a girl who is addicted to yearning; laying on the floor, eating pizza, imagining myself playing on stage with my friends in my band," she explains. This visual portrayal underscores the personal nature of the track, resonating with anyone who has ever felt the pull of change and the familiarity of self-reflection.
