Meiwei - My Doing
About...
Meiwei is the solo project of Seattle based indie-folk singer/songwriter Michelle Mouw. ‘My Doing’ is a delicate story encapsulated within an airy atmospheric acoustic soundscape
Lyrics...
The track tells a story about working yourself to the limit and being exhausted, but never feeling like you’ve done enough. The track reflects on this vicious cycle being her own doing but isn’t quite sure how to break it. This is a topic resonant with working as a creative feeling like you might miss an opportunity if you aren’t constantly in pursuit
Production...
The track is beautifully natural and rootsy, creating coherency and constant fluid movement within the track. Every element that builds throughout the track is thought about and all has a natural sound, the track still manages to have a big climax towards the end whilst remaining easy on the easy
Summary...
What an opening track to Meiwei’s latest album ‘On This Trail Till I’m Home’, instantly grabbing the listeners attention and encapsulating her whole tone and message through one track. I’d love to see how these tracks are translated live and the atmosphere they create
