Natalie Shay – “The Edge” single
“This is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever released, and as the feelings are still very raw, I’m hoping to find closure in this. Despite missing her and the good parts of the friendship so much, I know in order to still respect myself, I have to honor the power of an apology, and in this case, the lack there of one.” – Natalie Shay stated
‘The Edge’ is accompanied by its B-side, “Everything’s Been Happening.” The two tracks tell the story of how once you finally come out of something that had grown worse for you, you reflect and realize so many cracks showed long before you accepted that as the case. Also, both tracks voice the understanding of the power that someone’s dream can hold over their well-being and happiness.
‘The Edge’ stays true to Natalie Shay’s signature sound, shining with kaleidoscopic synths, a contagious beat, and energetic melodies. Despite the song’s melancholy theme, sonically it’s the ultimate get-up-and-dance track, allowing listeners to lose themselves in the music.
“So how did we go down? It turns out we were dancing too close to the edge.”
“I am guilty of this myself, a lot of my mental health, personality, and entire identity is completely wrapped up in my work. This is the same for a lot of creatives and people with a dream or goal from a young age in general. On realization that these goals may not happen the way you’d always planned, or realizing things are going to be much harder than you ever expected, can cause trouble for some people who lack the courage. I think me and my friend are guilty of this, and subsequently, this triggered the downfall.” – Natalie Shay explained
