Taking what was originally a stripped down acoustic tune into one that’s a fully fledged alternative pop ballad that thrives on its scale and grandeur, “This World You’re Living In” is a deeply emotional song that finds its catharsis through its arrangement. It’s a song for anyone who finds themselves feeling insufficient, a rousingly inspiration vocal performance that has you feeling heard and understood. Beth Olive takes you through the throes of that emotional insecurity, before delivering that resonant message of belief that in due time you’ll find someone who finds you as you are as just enough and perfect as is.
It’s wonderfully produced, a dreamy and ethereal soundscape that serves as the perfect platform for the rousing and inspiring performance at its centre that’s delivered with rawness yet polished clarity from Beth Olive.
