Beth Sarah - Limbo

 

You may have noticed that the artist on this record is the same as the person writing this, and you would be correct. So I can't really give my opinion on this song (that's extreme bias!) but I'd still like to tell you about it, because it feels like an important subject. I was admitted to hospital on 27th December 2023 with severe acute pancreatitis, nearly dying twice throughout my various inpatient stays which lasted through till May. Worthing Hospital has a digital piano in the Sanctuary which became my only creative outlet while I was an inpatient. The process of playing regularly gave me the inspiration to write when I became well enough to start processing the trauma my body had been through. In writing Limbo, I was able to discharge these emotions and allow them to flow through me. My hope is that this song will serve as that coming alongside those experiencing chronic illness; joining them in their heart cry for some reprieve. Limbo is one of fours songs on the Catharsis EP due for release at the end of January.
