Here’s a little kooky number. It’s called ‘Helium Balloon’. Grace Inspace has an EP due out on February the 27th titled ‘Heavy Hair’. This is our first venture into the music of Grace Inspace and we liked it so much we delved further. So, have a listen to ‘Helium Balloon, then check out a couple of other tracks we have put up for your pleasure.
“‘Helium Balloon’ is about the quiet collisions of emotion that make up the human experience,” she says. “It’s loneliness in a crowded room, and the bittersweet hush that settles after a party ends. The image of a single balloon, an object designed to signal joy, drooping in the corner, became the perfect metaphor for that strange, tender space where happiness and sadness coexist. There’s a particular kind of melancholy in wilted decorations: glitter gone dull, streamers slumped, bright colors washed out in the morning light. That’s the feeling the song lives inside – fragile, reflective, and unexpectedly moving. I wrote it with my acoustic guitar and vocal loop pedal and then took it to the duo Mulherin for production.”
