Sydney-based singer-songwriter Xela releases the soulful song Waterfalls, a refreshing and poignant romantic ballad that is a blend of sultry vocals and delicate instrumentals.
The song begins with a gentle acknowledgment of the weight we often carry, unseen by others. Xela’s lyrics, “You take the weight off my shoulders, and you don’t even know it,” immediately pull at the heartstrings, setting the stage for a narrative of vulnerability and trust. The recurring theme of holding back emotions, only to be overwhelmed by them, is a sentiment many can relate to. The chorus, “So here comes the waterfall,” is not just a catchy refrain but a powerful metaphor for the cathartic release of pent-up feelings.
Waterfalls has a beautiful melody, adding to the relatable desire to find that one person with whom we can be our true selves without fear of judgment. The lines, “Most people try, spending their life, looking to find someone to confide in,” resonate deeply, reminding listeners of the human need for genuine connection.
It’s a romantic ballad – a raw and honest portrayal of emotion with Xela’s voice, dripping with soul, carrying the weight of the lyrics, making every word feel personal and intimate. Waterfalls is a song that undoubtedly touches the soul, delivering on all fronts.
