EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Lizzie Weber’s ‘How Does It Feel’ and EP Announcement

By  | 
Stage Right Secrets is beyond excited to share Lizzie Weber’s latest single, “How Does It Feel.”
This release is the title track from her upcoming EP due out in January. “How Does It Feel” features her breathtaking vocals paired with lyrics that everyone can relate to, especially at this time.
“I wrote ‘How Does It Feel’ in about an hour. I’m not sure I’ve ever written anything so quickly,” she shared. “More than anything, it felt like a stream of subconscious emotion coming to the surface. I started with just an acoustic and vocal track, then began arranging with the rhythm and string section in my home studio prior to the musicians tracking their parts. I assumed remote work would be quite difficult because I’d relied so much on in-person work and the collaborative energy that helps bring a piece to life. I’m quite proud of this song and hope it resonates with listeners. In a time where so many are suffering, emotionally or physically, or both, I wanted to express my own vulnerability and make art that highlights how that openness calls for empathy from our closest loved ones and strangers alike.”

The songs off the forthcoming EP were written back in April when the world began to quarantine due to COVID-19. All of the songs were each written in a single day, something not typical for her.

“I felt very focused on the true meaning of being safe. I wrote ‘How Does It Feel’ when I was so focused on the meaning of feeling ‘safe.’ Am I safe to feel? Safe in my own skin and body? Safe to touch?” she continued. “And what was my personal experience was when confronting the emotions that left me feeling anything other than safe? It is an anthem of gratitude for having someone in your life that keeps you grounded in strength and resilience.”
