CLARE SIOBHAN – “3/2 (LOVES ME)”
INDEPENDENT
Onstage, Clare Siobhan is a natural-born performer, and connects with her audience easily. She is eager to make every stage feel like a late-night, living-room, private concert.
The CBC recognized, award-winning singer-songwriter from Truro, Nova Scotia is now making a home for herself both in Montreal, Quebec, and in that cozy little intersection of folk, pop, and soul. Her layered harmonies paired with bright piano and ukulele lay the foundation for warm vocals that touch on connection, relationships, worry, and that age-old search for meaning and belonging that we feel as we grow.
Clare was inspired to join her poet friend who was participating in a prompt-based creative exercise to craft a song with the word of “misfit,” which became her new single “3/2 (Loves Me)”
ARTIST QUOTE
My song “3/2 (Loves Me)” isn’t just about a musical time signature. I was feeling really shifted and unbalanced by a new love, in a way that was thrilling and comfortable and scary and easy all at once. I was so different from this new potential lover, but we were becoming so close so quickly, and we found we complemented each other in all these beautiful ways. I was nervous about falling so hard and so fast, and worried about what would happen if I let myself be vulnerable, but at every step of the way, things were working out. It was this huge risk that I was jumping into, but I was finding that I always had a soft place to land.
If you’re a music theory nerd like me, listen to the piano part. I layer a 3-beat left-hand part with a syncopated 2-beat right-hand part on top, and throughout the full-band arrangement of the song, if you listen closely, you can hear both pulses moving throughout the piece. It’s a bit of a sonic “optical illusion” β if you think in 3, you’ll hear it in 3, and if you think in 2, you’ll hear it in 2.
