Under Starling Releases “Changeling”
“Changeling” is a dreamy indie rock song with pop undertones. The song captures the essence of a couple ensnared in the complexities of love, superstition, and the unforgiving grip of distrust. The track is inspired by the heartbreaking story of Bridget Cleary; a woman murdered by her manic husband riddled with superstition.
The muddled narrative gives little clarity as to whose perspective we are perceiving. As the song unfolds, we see the lovers gradually succumb to suspicion and paranoia. There's a sense of unease, a feeling that something isn't right: "Take your heart and run, it's time to wake up."
The song breaks down to a spectral vocal surrounded by a poignant soundscape, foreshadowing the horrors carried out by the antagonist.
