Though writing Deadheading was a cathartic process for Raknes, the songs were ones that were necessary to cut in order for her own growth. “If you’re working in the garden, you’re planting seeds, and it’s more hands-on and doesn’t require so much of the emotions you go through-the insecurities or questioning ‘Should I be doing this,’ or ‘Does anyone want to listen to this.” The garden is just happy and kind.”
“It’s so personal because all of the emotions are in it,” shares Raknes of her solitary songwriting. Tending to her home garden of fruits, vegetables, and a collection of crested chickens who provide the family with fresh eggs, is where lyrics and melodies can often arrive as well. Sometimes songs need greater distance which led Rakness to take a brief pilgrimage to the nearby Faroe Islands to write.
There’s solace in motherhood for Raknes, but songwriting is a more abstract affair for the artist, which requires some measure of escape. We’re all supposed to be responsible, but at the same time, we’re all just like a child inside in a way.” Suddenly I have all these new parts to play in my life, because I’m a mother now, and I own a house. “And I think, ‘wouldn’t that be nice to be like a kid again,’ and I’m nostalgic about that. “That’s a clear longing to just be a child again because when I’m strolling my kid around in the pram, they’re just so safe and warm and have no responsibility and no worries,” shares Raknes of the song. Stuck between all her adult responsibilities and reminisces of earlier days, Raknes contemplates being a kid again on the steadier beating “Take Me Back.” Moving from the more uptempo guitar throbbing “Stay Here My Heart,” more concerns resurface with questioned actions on the post-punk drum-and-synth glaze of “How Could We” and the bounce around negative thoughts - Oh when my days are like nights, I am the enemy / The same wave bringing me in / Is pulling me back out-on the more ambling indie-pop of “ Rip Tide.” I’ve been saying things that I wish I could take back / And I’ve been doing things that I wish I could undo, she sings, reassured that things will be better once she comes down from her misery mountain. She links the remote locale (also called Misery Mountain), to where she’ll reset her bad moods. Raknes addresses her mood swings and finding the right space during more despondent times in the hopeful pulses of “Misery Mountain”-the title pulled from a porcelain mug a neighbor gifted the artist from the tallest peak on Bjørnøya (Bear) Island in Norway. That hasn’t happened yet, but I’m always worrying.” “The moment we had, we lost it and it’s not coming back. “It’s written from the point of view of when the relationship has stopped being a romantic one,” says Raknes of the latter track.
#THEA BLOOM FULL#
Full of her most vulnerable renderings, Deadheading goes back and forth from the internalized to interpersonal centering around relationships on the country-dipped “Poisoned Apple”- I knew I wasn’t easy / Oh, you picked a funny one-and moodier beats of an empowered “Little Sister,” opening with he’s not your king, and you’re no one’s pebble, while more premature perceptions of love funnel through the tender “The Moment.” Throughout Deadheading, Raknes bares her fears and doubts, mental ups and downs, and some of the lighter moments in between. She added, “I’m sort of telling myself what I should be doing in a lot of these songs.”
