Song: “Here in the Middle”
Release Date: September 30, 2022
In Their Words: “Before I play ‘Here in the Middle’ at a show, I always ask folks in the room how they’re doing. Usually, they call out with a ‘whooo!’ or a ‘great!’ And I laugh with them and say, ‘yeah, me too!’ But then, I tell them, I know that it can be easy to be doing well in a room like this one on a night like tonight, when you’re surrounded by good company. But in the case that they find themselves alone and not feeling so great tomorrow or any other day, I hope that they can find something in this song to take home with them, to know that they’re not alone in wanting more, wanting answers, wanting to feel unstuck, wanting to move forward. Then I play ‘Here in the Middle.’
“So anytime someone hears this song, through their headphones or otherwise, I hope that they feel seen. This song was meant to be listened to while in the trenches of overthinking, overanalyzing, or just feeling stuck. I’m proud of how this song turned out, from the lyrics to the production, it’s my best yet — I can’t wait for all that is to come!” — Racyne Parker
