Carry You (feat. Fleurie)

Ruelle's song 'Carry You,' featuring Fleurie, is a poignant ballad that speaks to the experience of enduring hardship and the longing for support during tough times. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and isolation, with the repeated questioning, 'Is anybody out there?' This plea for help and connection resonates with anyone who has felt alone in their struggles. The song's narrator offers a comforting response, assuring the listener that they are not alone and that there is someone who will 'carry' them through their darkest moments. This metaphor of being carried suggests a deep level of support and care, indicating that the burden of pain does not have to be borne alone.

The song also touches on the theme of losing one's inner light and the ability to 'shine.' The imagery of a 'heart's a bird without the wings to fly' evokes a sense of being grounded, unable to reach one's potential or escape from the weight of one's troubles. However, the consistent message throughout the song is one of hope and solidarity. The narrator's presence is unwavering, as they have been 'here the whole time singing you a song.' This lyrical motif emphasizes the power of music and companionship to uplift and provide solace.

Ruelle's musical style often includes atmospheric and emotive elements, which are present in 'Carry You.' The collaboration with Fleurie adds a layer of haunting beauty to the track, enhancing the emotional depth of the message. The song serves as a reminder that even in the depths of despair, there is the possibility of finding comfort in others, and that human connection can be a powerful force in overcoming adversity.
