Miranda on Delicate:
“Delicate is a song about living in a vulnerable, fragile space without actively healing. There is an underlying fear of drowning, of defeat, if you don’t change, but you can’t, you don’t know how to, you’re just about staying afloat.
In that space, it’s about being in a dark and consuming romantic relationship; it’s cold, it’s bleak, no one is trying anymore. The relationship is a symptom of your own inability to change, to strive for better in any aspect of your life. And you have a sense that they’re leeching off of you, consuming you, benefitting from your inaction. But your brain is clouded; you still see their good sides, you feel that you need them, so, in a way, you’re also terrified that they might leave.
Writing and recording this song was quite a cathartic experience for me. I wrote it on a cold weekend this January when I was home alone, thinking and writing. I finished writing it while out walking; I often write songs while walking, I let the words and rhythms bounce around in my head as I walk, it helps me to figure them out. Writing it brought me back to some past situations that had hurt me. I brought myself back to those places emotionally when I was recording the vocals by picturing certain spaces that I associated with them. It was an intense session, but it felt good and meaningful to create something authentic from a trauma. It was produced by Cian Sweeney. Stylistically, it’s a blend of folk-pop and electro-pop influences. It doesn’t really break up once it gets going; it opens and closes with the line ‘don’t ask me why I’m running’, so I wanted it to feel like running, going through the motions, afraid to slow down or stop.”
