Oslo-based artist Marie Ulven, aka girl in red, began writing her confessional bedroom pop songs in 2017, which will be collected in her debut album Beginnings, out September 6th. Among the tracks is today's featured Song of the Day.
"I think this is the most honest song I've written on how I perceive my life," explains Ulven. The 20-year-old songwriter continues, "Understanding life and what it means to be human is difficult. I’ve always questioned my existence, meaning, time and the universe. All I know is that I don’t know, and the only thing that’s guaranteed is I’ll die anyway."
