Faith Marie releases new music video ‘More Than I Am’

LA-based alt-pop singer-songwriter, Faith Marie, released her brand-new music video ‘More Than I Am’. Written by Faith, ‘More Than I Am’ is about the process of allowing yourself to let go of your inner demons.

Faith elaborates;

“up until now, this EP has been about delving into my darkness, whereas this single expresses how it was a struggle for me to let go of my demons because I was worried it was the only thing that made people connect with me. If I lost that, I wasn’t sure who I’d be. I built a whole world on this darkness and I felt like healing was betraying that, but the truth is, I’m so much more than my darkness as well as my healing. Sometimes we get tunnel vision and forget that no matter what you believe, we are truly a part of this infinite universe, and we’re not tied to any sort of emotion or anything for that matter. Remembering that from time to time can really put things into perspective and help to have deep self-compassion.”

The sound of “More Than I Am” was executed to encapsulate the meaning of this song and the existentialism of it. A lot of elements are felt, not heard, and Faith wrote these lyrics with a vision for people to listen and immerse themselves into a full experience.

‘More Than I Am’ intertwines darkness with the bass and synths, alongside brighter elements such as the lead harp. This juxtaposition is meant to convey the feeling of acceptance of pain and confusion, while also giving a glimpse of hope while the song is evolving in that direction.

Originally from Provo, Utah, the singer-songwriter began developing her skills at the age of 13, launching a successful YouTube channel that would attract over 100,000 subscribers, in addition to millions of listens via Spotify.

Faith Marie’s personal journey as an independent artist, overcoming obstacles and achieving success on her own terms, is an inspiring narrative that resonates with listeners and fans.
