After the ambiguous intro pattern of a jarring childhood din that resonates between play and worry, My Protector by RAINGIRL unfurls right into a soul-cleansing soliloquy via strings, heat pads, and lingering piano notes. The orchestration is spare, but the emotional weight it carries is immeasurable. The violin turns into the voice, singing with the quiver of nostalgia, the tremble of tenderness, and the hush of reminiscence you by no means requested to be returned to however now end up rooted in.
The melody doesn’t attempt for grandeur, it channels the type of comfortable power that exists in those that maintain you thru your darkest hours, regardless of how small or mindless these hours as soon as have been. It holds house for fragility with out suffocating it, nearly as if RAINGIRL poured each scar and salve from her childhood into the association.
Written as a wordless tribute to her older sister, My Protector is the opening chapter of RAINGIRL’s debut EP, Letters From My Youth Pt. 1. With this introduction alone, she’s confirmed her place as a composer able to stirring the deepest recesses of human reminiscence. Whether or not she continues to attain for the airwaves or turns her hand to OSTs, this single proves she doesn’t want lyrics to speak emotional sanctity.
My Protector is now accessible on all main streaming platforms, together with Bandcamp.
