flora cash - Don’t You Look At Me That Way (2021)

Anxiety, whilst still strangely taboo in nature, is one of the most common illnesses plaguing our society. And, in a bid to lift the veil on the topic and its connections to spirituality is duo Flora Cash with their mental health-focused tune “Don’t You Look At Me That Way”. Rudimentary in nature, the track’s base is made up of a rippling acoustic guitar that is gently built upon with a soft piano rendition and echoing production, offering a sorrowful yet soothing sound. Haunting vocals carry introspective lyrics as the duo asks, “I’ve been terrified and I wonder why. Am I going crazy?” leading listeners to feel both understood yet empathetic to the psycho-spiritual tournament being discussed, all the while having their own anxieties washed away by the pair’s melancholic tone.
