“The Girls in the Movies” is an affecting new track from Seattle-based singer/songwriter Laura Dawn. “I’m in hell when I’m without you,” an emotive vocal yearning exudes, set amidst moody acoustic strums, steady percussion, and lush piano interweaving. The initial portrayals of isolation combine with depictions of self-destruction, inspired by the media’s tendency to romanticize reckless lifestyles. “I wrote this for all my dead friends and how the lifestyle we use to idolize ended up killing some of us,” Laura Dawn explains.
