A compelling indie pop tune that emphasizes the importance of putting yourself first.
Nashville-based Sid Dorey is a 23-year-old artist passionate about celebrating queer people and sharing authentic experiences through their music. Drawing inspiration from a strong background in musical theater, Sid’s songs often explore themes like navigating religious trauma, relationship and family struggles, and love. Some of their previous releases include “High in Malibu,” “Die a Man,” “Pillow Princess,” and “Bible Belt.” Sid’s latest release is the indie pop single “Life Raft,” along with its accompanying video.
With an ear-pleasing blend of melodic instrumentals and catchy beats, “Life Raft” offers an emotionally stirring backdrop that perfectly complements its introspective lyrics. Lines like “I wish I could save everybody, but I’m too busy biting my lips until they bleed” and “I can’t be in charge, of your broken parts, when I can’t even meet my own needs” highlight the struggle of personal boundaries and the importance of prioritizing your own well-being. Fueled by passionate vocals and a hint of moodiness, Sid Dorey delivers a compelling indie pop track that reminds us self-care isn’t selfish. So press play and let “Life Raft” reinforce the importance of putting yourself first.
