Drawing us in with an intricate and emotive piano performance, Lisa Goldin opens How Love Can Start with theatrical nuance and a series of questions preceded by the hook, “Isn’t it funny how?” The star asks, “Isn’t it funny how we remember different things, isn’t it funny how a spark still exists, isn’t it funny how age don’t change a thing, isn’t it funny how our nerves are both shaking…”
Her philosophical depth is tangible, and we appreciate the introspective nature of the artist and how open and authentic she is with her soul. There is a poetic prowess and emotional core that transmutes with Lisa’s work and the intimate portrait that she paints feels relatable.
How Love Can Start involves two people that once knew each other well, and have run into each other after a long time. While the protagonists may have aged, their emotions remain constant. There is an undeniable spark between them, and it has them wondering if they can start something together, even though things ended so badly in the past.
They are soaked in nervousness and insecurity, and the song grants them a fantasy where they could lose their memories of the past, of pain or mistakes, and concentrate only on what they feel at this moment. It’s hopeful and tender and painful. It’s a song about second chances, unarticulated emotions and the promise of a fresh start.
How Love Can Start comes from Lisa Goldin‘s brand new album, Something I Used To Wear, out today, which is a cohesive masterpiece with brilliant instrumentation and a soulful authenticity that transmutes through Lisa’s prose and captivating timbre.
