Miss Mathias - Vessel

 

Miss Mathias has a very endearing and recognisable sound. Her voice has a purity that emulates the innocence of childhood and it draws you in from the start. On first listen to this song, I couldn't get enough - I had to keep replaying over and over, hearing more lyrics each time and feeling the depth of the subject. This song is about 'having someone you can hold on to when everything becomes a mess in your life' says Miss Mathias, who goes on to explain that she is grateful to her friends who pull her 'out of the slump'. I can fully appreciate this. As a woman who regularly finds myself overwhelmed with responsibilities it's easy to turn to slumping, but as my good friend Emily says, 'time to get the big girl pants on!' We all need these people in our lives - friends who don't let us spiral further, but give us the support we need to get back to the surface. And to have this message so beautifully portrayed by Miss Mathias' angelic voice is just the icing on the cake, really.
