American Singer/songwriter SYML Confides Genuine Vulnerability In New Single "Flags"
Every time, we hear music from American Artist SYML, we always get emotional and chilly. He returns, this time, with an acoustic catchy song ‘Flags’, where he gets to infuse his vulnerability. The song is actually very personal because it was orchestrated as a therapy for SYLM, to get over the loss of someone dear. The composition sounds polished, consistent, and genuine and it’s definitely a masterpiece that deserves more attention. Moreover, about the topic, the singer confides:
“I struggle with things that seem supernatural but are actually very natural. Cancer is natural. Nature is undiscerning and unforgiving. Cancer is raw and shapes the landscape of our lives. The metaphors run deep but they don’t make mourning someone any less painful, especially before they leave us. I wrote ‘Flags,’ like I write many of my songs, as a sort of therapy. It’s from the perspective of our bodies experiencing cancer. We meet pain and hopelessness with community and fight, and the fight is meaningful.
....
Cancer fucking sucks and life is beautiful.”
