This song is only composed of acoustic guitar, the passionate main vocal, and the subtle, pretty harmonies. Despite its sparse nature, “There’s a Page Torn Out of a Book” never feels empty because the vocal performance is so strong, and the guitar is ever-moving and fluid, constantly adding intrigue.
The metaphor of comparing a life to a book creates a sentimental feeling in the listener, encouraging them to look inward at all the different chapters of their life and what transformative experiences have helped them reach the present point in their story. Kampe looks back at her life, singing “there’s a page torn out of a book that used to be my favorite,” to show how something that was once so important to her is now just a nostalgic memory. It’s an inspiring reminder that memories, both good and bad, will eventually fade as we make new ones. Difficult experiences will hurt less as time passes, and joyful experiences may dull with time, but will always be there to offer comfort.
