Let Sorcha Richardson serenade you with her dreamy new song "Can't We Pretend"
The Brooklyn-via-Dublin singer is back with a new song that is seeped in nostalgia and memories of her youth.
There's something about Sorcha Richardson that is immediately striking. The singer has a knack for charming storytelling where she meshes together vivid images of her youth and memories of underage drinking with an inner melancholy that softly permeates through her vocal delivery.
"Can't We Pretend" is equal parts funny and sad, where Richardson outlines her journey from Ireland to the USA and speaks of what she left behind. She tells of how she would be back for Christmas, but it ended up being another six years before she would return.
One of the most cutting parts of the song comes when she compares New York to Ireland, as she laments that it rains in New York City too, but despite the comfort of the bad weather, it still doesn't bring her closer to the person she's missing. It's cinematic, relatable and completely and utterly heartwrenching.
