“It Blooms” by Tommy Curtis is a beautiful and touching love song about the support two people in a relationship can give each other, and how that support can transcend insecurities and ease difficult times. Gorgeous acoustic guitar picking and atmospheric layered vocals craft a dreamy sonic landscape that allows the listener to really connect with the vulnerable storytelling.
In this indie folk track, Curtis sings about how much lighter personal struggles can feel when someone is there to help you carry them. Lines like “sorry dear, I left my mind at home” and “I left my soul at the park” describe those darker times where you don’t feel like yourself, and you can’t seem to find a clear path to bring you back. He asks his love to take care of his soul and to clean up his mind to show the deep trust present in this partnership. Knowing you can be any version of yourself, and your partner will still treat you with tenderness and care, is one of the most meaningful parts of being in love. The line “I keep you safe, you keep me warm” is particularly poignant, displaying the mutual care this couple gives to each other.
Soft and fluid acoustic guitars bring you into the story as the intimate vocals reverberate through your soul, offering blooming production that heightens the emotion as the song goes on. “It Blooms” reminds you to lean on your loved ones when you need to, and be grateful that they are always there for you.
