Anger is rarely graceful, but in this stripped-back live session, Sarah Saint James finds a way to make it hauntingly beautiful. With Mad at God, she channels frustration and vulnerability, turning pain into art. Her raw, emotive delivery cuts through the silence, capturing the depth of inner turmoil with every word. It’s a moment of pure honesty, where every lyric hits like a wave, echoing the struggle between faith and disillusionment. This performance is a testament to the power of vulnerability in music.
Words spoken softly at midnight are familiar to alt-pop artist Sarah Saint James. Whilst she may be soft-spoken, her lyrics tell a vulnerable tale of her experience at a party during her teenage years. In a heartbreakingly realistic admission, James sings, "... don't know why I act surprised when I'm on my own again… yeah I'd rather be with fake ass friends than be lonely tonight." These lines illustrate a familiar notion that young people would rather find themselves surrounded by bad company – or in this case, fake-ass friends – than feel like an outsider or loner in a desperate attempt to fit in.
