Born to Be A Little Too Relatable

Christ. This one had me sitting in the car, a little bit in shambles with the morning coffee unattended, but let’s backtrack a bit.

We were lucky enough to be sent Caroline Romano’s press release for “Born To Want More”, and I’ve been sitting on these thoughts for about a week with no way to process them by anything other than relistening. This is absolutely everything I needed, as the days come to the nights where I sit and overthink about a little too much, a little too many of my slip ups, and overthink about the bridge to this, and the spoken-word introduction. (Something that I’ve always always been a sucker for. Throw a voicemail in a song? I love you. I love your attachments to things that are personal to you, thank you for sharing with the class.)

We’re all at the weird age where our friends are getting married, having children, or seemingly thriving - “I watch my friends all fall in love / I’m lucky if I fall asleep” - it’s something that Romano captures perfectly.

“Born to Want More” sits with me as something hyper-intense in a beautiful way - one of those I’m not exactly able to describe other than the following: if you’re down for a beautiful acoustic, stunning lyricism that hits you a little too hard after a failed situationship, and a bridge for the ages? You’re gonna dig this. Like, rest assured. We’re sitting in a stage of limbo right now of the concept of being in our 20’s-30’s, but I’m eternally grateful to Romano for being born for more than her wants, more than her heartbreaks, more than anything she has overcome.
