Miya Folick has shared her latest single, ‘Alaska’.
The new track follows her 90s alt-rock inspired release ‘La Da Da’ from last month, with the song drawing inspiration from Jeremy Radin‘s poem ‘Dear Sal’, specifically the line “desire is a buffalo standing on my chest”.
“The song is me exploring the weight of my fear of losing my relationship, but also finding comfort in the fact that if I did, things would be okay,” Folick explains. “The line ‘I could lose you’ is a double entendre. When we translated it into Japanese for the cover art, we used the verb for ‘I am able to’ and the verb for ‘It is possible [to lose you].’ This song is both a coming to terms with how much my relationship matters to me, and how much I value my relationship to myself. I would be so sad if I lost this person in my life, but it would be equally as sad if I lost myself.”
