London-based artist Rapt returns with the poignant new single “I Will Be My End,” a reflective meditation on enduring through the struggles of chronic illness. Fingerpicked guitars make up most of the track’s sparse instrumentation, and their delicate tones bring a sense of hopefulness even as the lyrics convey despair (lines like “there’s forces at play that will darken our days” reinforce the song’s themes of powerlessness). The poetic lyrics, paired with the soft vocal delivery, channel the essence of classic folk music, further supported by the understated harmonies of the backing vocals. It’s a contemplative song for those navigating life’s uncertainties and finding the strength to persevere.
