Following Sea’s latest release, “In My Head” finds the emotional middle ground between the desire to move on and the pull of memory. This folk/acoustic song is about a summer relationship that is over but still plays in your head long after the moment has gone.
There’s an intimate quality to the story, especially its image of lying awake at night wondering where someone is. The longing for one last dance is the sweet sorrow of knowing something is over but wanting one more opportunity to have lived it.The folk/acoustic base suits the subject matter well.
This idea keeps the emotion down-to-earth and human, rather than bringing heartbreak to the extreme. The strength of the song is its familiarity. Most of us know what it’s like to have a memory that won’t stay in the past. With Sea, that restless inner world is transformed into a reflective musical experience. “In My Head” is like a soft conversation with memory, the tenderness of letting go yet keeping someone with you.
