A touchingly poignant and plaintive piano ballad, Harpa’s achingly beautiful and heartfelt tune “Leave Me Behind” entrances you and bewitches you. It’s anchored on a vocal performance that’s thoroughly enchanting, the kind that’s gripping and focused to the point of really taking you down your own journey of self discovery. Harpa penned the tune as a letter to her self, the past version of her saying goodbye to her present self- telling her she’s safe now, that it’s okay to let her walls come down and let the light in.
In more ways than one, “Leave Me Behind” becomes a therapeutic and absorbing listen that progresses the listener, allowing them to step back and take a breath on the life they’ve lived and the life they’re in. It’s about acceptance and evolution, a ballad that makes its point known through emotional expression that’s visceral and driven.
