Mim Jensen Releases Emotional New Song “13th Floor” as Song of the Day
Mim Jensen, a prominent indie songwriter from Aotearoa, has recently released a new single titled “Big Feelings,” accompanied by a lyric video. Known for her candid and heartfelt lyrics, Mim’s latest track showcases a unique blend of emotional depth and sharp wit, making it her most compelling work yet.
The song features Mim’s haunting vocals intertwined with a lively acoustic guitar, creating a rich and colorful melody that resonates with listeners. The lyrics, particularly the recurring line “All these feelings that I have forgotten – I want them, I want them,” convey a deep sense of longing and introspection, painting a vivid picture of emotional complexity.
The lyric video for “Big Feelings” emulates a vintage camcorder recording, adding a nostalgic touch to Mim’s introspective songwriting. The visual presentation, shot in a lo-fi, handheld style, complements the song’s themes, capturing intimate moments of joy and connection among Mim and her friends. Lines like “my heart’s made a home for you” flash across the screen, further enhancing the emotional resonance of the track.
Reflecting on the genesis of the song, Mim shares, “‘Big Feelings’ went through various demo stages before evolving into its final form. At its core, the track delves into the idea of seeking external stimuli to feel alive, as well as idealizing the fleeting moments of happiness in a tumultuous relationship marked by push-and-pull dynamics.” This introspective exploration of emotional turmoil and self-discovery adds layers of complexity to the song, showcasing Mim’s growth as a songwriter.
In a personal reflection on the song’s meaning, Mim reveals, “I realized that memories can often appear happier in hindsight than they were in reality. ‘Big Feelings’ serves as a reminder that inspiration can be found in moments of stillness and introspection, rather than constantly seeking external validation.” This introspective revelation underscores Mim’s evolution as an artist, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection and personal growth in the creative process.
“Big Feelings” builds on the success of Mim’s previous single, “Sidekick,” which received accolades from Rolling Stone AU/NZ and was featured as one of the Best New Zealand Music Of the Week. The new track marks a significant progression in Mim’s musical journey, blending her signature gritty indie rock sound with a newfound vulnerability and authenticity in her songwriting. With “Big Feelings,” Mim delves deeper into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, offering listeners a profound and introspective musical experience.
