‘Blud’ is the third track from SOAK’s Album Before We Forgot How To Dream. Centred around the family relationship, Bridie has turned these thoughts and feelings into poetic lyrics with a calming accompaniment, creating a gentle yet powerful track.
From the moment SOAK sings the first line, you can feel the raw emotions in her voice; the lyrics “Hear the anger through the ceiling / I wish I missed it” show a tiny glimpse into her family relationship at the time. The accompaniment is soft and adds to the atmosphere which emphasises the delicate theme, supporting the track till the last bar.
‘Blud’ is a sincere track, which some of us can relate to, reflects a lot of the album’s main theme of SOAK’s teenage years.
