The track serves as a reflection on the similarities between love and gardening, highlighting the necessity of continual nurturing, dedication, and care when in a relationship. The track captures the beauty of romantic evolution amidst fluctuations, portraying love’s resilience in the face of obstacles.
Exploring themes of love in flux, hope, and perseverance, Palombo grapples with these profound contemplations in this poetic introduction to her forthcoming project. Listeners can expect sounds reminiscent of artists such as Bon Iver, Lizzy McAlpine, and Phoebe Bridgers on “A Garden.”
“I hope listeners connect with the unanswered question of “A Garden.” There’s so much back and forth, grey areas, imagery of beautiful things going dark — but then there’s so much hope and love to uplift it all. There’s no neat little bow and pretty answers to whether this love will last, and I hope anyone listening will feel comforted by someone else sitting in that uncertainty with them.
“A Garden” is the exposition of this whole project, truly. It introduces the conflict that will spark a whole journey of self discovery. Any conflict, internal or external, has a spark, a desire for peace, and an acceptance of wherever the journey will take you, good or bad. “A Garden” is that spark.”
