Inspired by the fig tree metaphor in Sylvia Plath’s classic novel ‘The Bell Jar’, Jewelia’s meandering and melodically serene folk-pop ballad ‘The Comfort of Falling’ is the perfect down tempo and blissful escape for an evening walk or a morning meditation. The song is an ideal coming of age tune, discussing the acceptance of maturity and adulthood while understanding the things that have happened and the choices that you made to lead you where you are. It’s able to evoke this feeling of acceptance so precisely, such a unique and incisive emotion that’s difficult to convey musically or sonically whatsoever. You can here Jewelia’s voice slowly guide you as you find yourself introspecting down your own path and choices.
It’s immensely relaxing but not detached. ‘The Comfort of Falling’ will have you completely at ease with where you are in life, ready to accept all the failings, mistakes, and seemingly wrong choices just so that you know things will eventually fall where they may.
