New Music Review - ‘Carpenters Daughter’ by Steffany Beck
Carpenters Daughter is the stunning, latest country track from Christchurch-based Steffany Beck, who has taken pen to paper to share her love for her late father, carrying pockets of emotion with acoustic, heart squeezing moments.
A world-rocking tribute adorns the lines of Steffany’s mind, allowing her father to long live within the walls of her music, whilst speaking to the souls of others who have lost someone important to them.
Carpenters Daughter has many pertinent points throughout where Steffany expresses who her father was, honouring the memories she has of him. Tear-worthy lines such as “there ain’t a nail without your fingerprint on it that’s holding my frame together…” may just remind you of someone you know, shattering the notions that it’s not okay to express how deeply you love. (Which, we all know it is okay to express them).
Steffany reveals that she has found the loss hard; trying to find the strength to act fine when deep down, she was in a lot of pain from losing her father. Carpenters Daughter pulls the curtain back and allows Steffany to present this phenomenal piece of work in such a pure, exposed way that even myself, as the listener, felt the weight of her words without experiencing what she has.
Steffany has more music on the way during this side of the year and I am looking forward to hearing if she is holding onto more raw emotion from her upcoming EP, PILLARS, or whether there will be more light-hearted country tracks to be ingested.
Either way, I look forward to listening to more of Steffany’s music when on my daily commute.
