Shai Rose - Singer, Songwritter
The song "Overthinking" seems to be about losing oneself and being trapped in a cycle of excessive thoughts. The singer, Shai Rose, expresses her feelings of being lost and disoriented, playing a role and pretending that everything is fine. However, despite her efforts, she finds herself lost once again and feels that she is wasting time in overthinking.
The song begins captivatingly with the soft voice of the singer, which stands out by being completely isolated at the beginning of the song, creating an incredible connection with the listener from the start. Then, a guitar arpeggio is introduced, using minor chords, further intensifying the sense of emotional connection. As the song progresses, synthesizers come into play, creating an ambient atmosphere that gives the listener the sensation of floating with the music.
The percussion joins the song, along with guitar arrangements that use smoothly connected notes with slides and sustained bends, executed with incredible precision. These guitar embellishments dynamically emphasize certain notes, adding depth to the composition. Furthermore, these guitar adornments are enhanced by generous reverberation effects and the use of a delay pedal, creating an "aquatic" sensation in the song, reinforcing the feeling of floating.
Throughout the song, the lyrics suggest that there are moments when things simply don't make sense, and not all loves free us or make us feel liberated. The song also addresses the lack of control over our feelings and who we fall in love with. The protagonist seems to have been surprised to discover that they were lost and blinded by their past love, but now they have found clarity. This is how the singer exposes that they realize not all loves are meant to be, and not all loves lead us to emotional freedom.
As we enter the chorus of the song, we encounter a beautiful vocal line that extends beyond the four measures.
"Overthinking" has a very intriguing structure, as the chorus is performed only once throughout the song, followed immediately by the final section or outro, where Shai Rose's commanding voice takes on an important role once again, accompanied by sweet vocal melodies that serve as background chorus, positioned at the extreme ends of both audio channels, delivering the necessary sense of intimacy to conclude this track in the most relaxing manner possible.
"Overthinking" is a genuine expression of the internal struggle we often face in our quest for clarity and liberation from excessive thoughts while navigating the complexities of relationships and human emotions.
