The Boston-based musician is out with her first original single since winning NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest in 2022. Amador said, “It feels like the most vulnerable song that I have to date.”
.” Amador wrote the song to confront her own grief and depression and found self-acceptance along the way. “‘Narratives’ was just the beginning of my process of learning to truly be myself as an artist,” Amador said. “And that means not ascribing to one genre or strictly one language. Now this next release, ‘Woke Up Today,’ is like another step deeper into that process for me. … It feels like the most vulnerable song that I have to date.
With that, Amador wrote the first verse: “Woke up today feeling like I’d never be alright/ Tried to shake the nightmare as it echoed through my mind/ Tried to break my record of trying not to cry/ Tried to recognize myself in the looking glass of life.” Looking back, Amador said this line feels poignant. “That was a moment of recognition before I was maybe ready to recognize that what I was feeling was depression.
This May, Amador had a breakthrough, thanks in part to medication. She can see and feel the difference, which is evident to her when looking back at her old journal entries. “At the end, I always [used to] write, ‘I don't know how, but somehow it's going to be okay.’ That was the ending of my journal entries for the last, like, three years until I started an antidepressant only recently.
