Coming off the back of the release of her debut single ‘Look At You Now’ at the start of October, today, all-round creative talent Gabriela Bee returns with her latest track, ‘Maybe’. The beautifully melodic vocal performance delivered by Gabriela combined with the intimate sincerity of her lyricism finds Gabriela playing with the concept of the unknown.
“MAYBE” is a song about my best friend of over 14 years. She’s a year older than me, and is now off to university, on the other side of the country. She holds a special place in my heart because she’s been there with me through all of life’s changes. I’ve always been used to seeing her face, and her being an 8-minute drive away, so it hit a certain heartstrings knowing she’s now across the country. I wrote this song the day after she left, and it’s the only song I’ve ever written that actually made me cry. It made my entire family cry. The song itself tells the story of our sister-like bond, and delves into the truth behind missing somebody and the uncertainty of seeing them again. The realization hits, and now all you really have to rely on is “maybe”. Now, she’s off on her own journey, and we part ways in two very different directions. It feels like the Polaroids I have of us are not enough, but our memories will last me a lifetime, and I’m so glad that I spent those tender childhood years with her. Maybe I’ll see her again.
