Rae Louโs latest single, โPeople,โ is a much-needed dose of kindness in this hyper-individualistic and materialistic world. Inspired by American TV host and author Fred Rogersโ timeless words, โLook for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping,โ the song is a powerful anthem of unity and compassion.
โPeopleโ starts off with piano, perfectly complementing Rae Louโs rich and soulful vocals. While the lyrics send us the message, Louโs vocals are the heart and soul of โPeople.โ She wraps us in her vocal folds with a gentle elegance, conveying a message of hope and encouragement. The music builds throughout the song, mirroring the message of resilience. The gentle piano evolves into a driving force, propelled by the steady beat of the drums and guitar.
She sings of the cruelties of the world with the line, โEverywhere you look now/It feels dark outside/Like thereโs no end in sight.โ But then, she diverts our attention from the problem to the problem solvers, the ones who are easing the situations and circumstances.
Then, Cherry Ghostโs โPeople Help the Peopleโ also rings a bell with its beautiful testament to the power of shared messages, reminding us of the call for compassion that has echoed throughout history.
Rae Lou reminds us that even the heaviest burdens can be shared, and that kindness is the key to getting through difficult times. Listen to the movement of reviving compassion in Rae Louโs latest single, โPeopleโ released this May 17.
