Join Pacifica on May 3rd @ 12:30pm to hear a recent interview with singer-songwriter, Alice Merton, ahead of her upcoming performance at Rickshaw Stop on May 21st.
Alice Merton has undeniably become known as the girl with no roots. In her songs, she’s always talked about celebrating life as a nomad, and making a home wherever you want it to be. With this next chapter however, her thoughts turn inward, and instead of finding a home in the outside world, she goes on an internal journey of feeling lost on the inside and asking the question of all questions: who am I supposed to be, and how well do you know yourself at all?
The Heron EP – out now via her own independent record label Paper Plane Records Int. – explores the journey of self-discovery and self-fulfilment. It questions one’s own happiness, in a world where we are constantly influenced by other people’s opinions on what happiness is for them, especially through social media. It’s become almost impossible to filter out the noise and truly ask ourselves “What is it that we really want out of this life, and how well do we actually know ourselves at all? Can we independently find happiness without being bombarded by everyone else’s definition of what they think happiness is?“
