Long Island, NY-based songwriter and producer Arrow Santi urges people to hold on while coping with mental issues in his single, “Self Harm Is Not The Answer.” Released last August 20, this song serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with depression or sadness, reminding them that harming themselves is not the solution.
Recorded in Bay Shore, NY, Arrow Santi touches us with this relaxing and heartfelt anthem. The song kicks off with soft, slow, and vulnerable guitar strums. And when the deep, thick voice enters the scene, dripping with heavy emotion, you can’t help but be drawn in by its lulling effect.
The rapper delivers verses with a casual, relaxed flow backed by a soft backbeat. The vocals are expertly layered to create an otherworldly feeling. It brings an expansive dimension to the already powerful message. Like a mantra hugging you through the dark times, he raps the catchy refrain, “Don’t beat yourself up about things you can’t control.” The heavy and therapeutic lulling voice floats above throughout the song which might help to rest your tensed nerves due to the thawing, warm ambience.
Influenced by the likes of A$AP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, and Tyler The Creator, Arrow Santi blends rap, soul, and alternative. And with influences ranging from Adele to XXXTENTACION, he shows that his musical palette is highly sensitive and powerful.
Listen to the meditative single, “Self Harm Is Not The Answer” by Arrow Santi if you need a musical pick-me-up and feel yourself inspired to push through.
