We've already heard a smattering of music from Tasha's new album You Are The Spring! But her new song out this week has me locked in with a new attentiveness. "Quick!" is a staggering achievement. The song spends three and a half minutes building up intensity in raw, pounding rock mode, then bottoms out into a lovely acoustic comedown that continues to feel like some kind of feral ceremony. Tasha's voice is stirring throughout. "I'm a mockingbird repeating all I've heard," she concludes. "I'm a falling star landing where you are." When the final guitar strum hits, you feel like you've been through something.
Tasha offered some context for the track:
When writing the song on a warm day last June, I was thinking about how summer time always reminds me of every summer I've ever had. It's a reflection on time and holding on to precious moments -- but releasing scarcity. Every moment is precious but preciousness is abundant and never ending. A euphoric anthem for freedom, aliveness, play, connection, and lineage.
