How many broken people have you loved? If you say none, have you really loved anyone at all? Julia Gaeta‘s brooding electronic post punk song “Weight of You” is an ode to the ones we’ve loved where that love has felt like it’s useless in a way. Like no matter how much love you pour into them, it’s not enough to heal their wounds, and the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness it engenders. There’s no end to anyone’s suffering, love didn’t conquer all, but you can’t stop yourself from trying. Her haunting voice and ominous melodies speak to the paid of going back for more and hoping for a different outcome even though you know what you’re in store for. Really looking forward to her future projects, because this one gorgeous, emotive track needs a full length! Check out her video for “Weight of You” directed by David Fitt below, and keep an eye out for future release info…
“Weight of You” engulfs the listener in a tempting world with no clear resolution. It’s really about the alluring addiction to painful love, whether with a person or a thing. If that something you love is broken, all you want to try to do is fix it. But it never works.
