Abstract
Feeling bruised from a relationship that ended poorly is a feeling many relate to. However, from bruises, we grow and heal from our tender aches and move on to new things, stronger than ever. This whole concept of healing from past experiences is captured in the music work, ‘Bruises’. Bruises is an EP that tells the long, complicated, and heartbreaking story of separating oneself from a broken relationship, and further more, moving on to a place of peace and acceptance. Touching on topics of relationships, love, and unrequited love, as well as mental health and self-retrospection, Noor shares the perspective of being affected by unhealthy relationships and the acknowledgement of wanting something better for yourself. This concept is carried through descriptive lyric and melodic writing.
