Sara Baroni On the Making Of “I lost it, I miss it”
What inspired you to write the lyrics/music for "I lost it, I miss it?"
The whole basis of “I lost it, I miss it” is about the bad habit of only realizing how much something meant to you once it’s gone but not being able to admit it. I started writing this song quite a while ago, and it kind of became like a continuous diary, where every time I worked on it, I was slowly processing that feeling more. The inspiration really came from that cycle of regret and reflection, where you try to convince yourself you’ve moved on, but deep down, you’re still holding onto it.
Was there any challenge that you encountered while making the track?
There were definitely a good share of challenges throughout the making of the track. Especially during the actual writing process, as I mentioned how it was a tough subject and difficult feeling to put into words. However, I must say that the production process which is done by Jessica Taylor, was definitely much smoother. We pretty much found the right sounds and understood the right direction pretty quickly because of how much work was put into the writing of the actual song.
Can you describe the emotions or feelings you hope this single evokes in listeners?
With this song, I genuinely hope it is kind of like a warm hug to my listeners where they can unleash their emotions whether it’s to scream, cry or just feel comforted. I'd like to think of it as a song where it could help people feel understood in such a complicated feeling.
How do you seek opportunities for personal and artistic growth in your musical journey?
Seeking opportunities as a young emerging artist is definitely difficult especially because this industry is extremely competitive. What I personally is to use the current resources I have such as creating as much as possible a social media presence to connect with new audiences. Another underrated way which I personally have been experimenting with, is making local connections through rehearsal or recording studios where its pretty easy to find professionals in the industry. You really never know who you may find and what new experiences or knowledge you may learn.
Can you describe your experience in the recording studio? How do you capture the emotion of your vocals on a recording?
Going to the recording studio is one of my favourite parts of being an artist. Through my process, I don't actually spend as much time in the studio as I usually write my songs in my bedroom and do the production remotely with the producer I work with. Therefore, there's always a rush of comfort when I'm in the studio because its almost like I'm sharing what I wrote officially for the first time and with the build up of emotions from the writing and production process before hand, it makes the entire experience even more intimate and so easy to get into the mood.
