Setting the tone with a timeless piano energy, Julie Ann Weiler opens Something Gets Me with situational and emotive lyricism as she sings, “Every day I silently pray for your return, and every night, I hold myself tight cos you’re not here and it hurts, do you hear me? When I call? Are we looking at the same moon each night after all?”
The opus expands with depth and poetic prowess as Julie Ann Weiler shares a vulnerable and open side of her mind and spirit. Dubbed a “herald of hope in the midst of hardship”, Something Gets Me has an optimistic edge laced with introspection as Julie shares her connection with God through meaningful prose.
Julie deeply understands herself and translates this consciousness into song as a person with wisdom and charisma. She builds a cohesive tapestry of sound with luscious strings and drums as a heartbeat. The guitar solo sends us astral and our emotions expand in line with Julia’s iconic and sometimes theatrical performance.
We appreciate the final choruses and incredible vocal harmonies as our protagonist delivers a soulful and expansive vibe with incredible range. We learn that Julie Ann Weiler was born into a non-traditional traveling missionary family, and translates her culture into her art.
Julie says that “writing is a form of therapy for her and a way to help others who may be in a place of grief or emotional pain.” She says her music allows her to “put herself in others’ shoes and reach for a measure of comfort or healing on their behalf”, which in turn brings healing to her.
We love Julie Ann Weiler‘s authenticity and depth, and it is clear that the love energy and knowledge that lives within her has the chance to expand, and Something Gets Me is a perfect example of this. We have added the composition to our New Music Spotlight playlist.
