Follow Laura Lucas
Have you ever spent difficult moments lying on your bed, wondering if what you’re hoping for will ever actually happen? And in those moments, have you ever asked yourself if maybe you’re missing out on your true path while waiting for the impossible? Sometimes, we only realise it too late, once the person we loved is already gone. This song feels like a goodbye letter to someone who slipped away before we even had time to understand what happened.
And the artist behind it is Laura Lucas, one of only two female Australian artists who regularly return to IMC. The other one is Bree Rusev. Laura Lucas and Indie Music Center’s story began in 2020 with her song “Fault Line”. Since then, our hearts have been completely hooked on her magical musical universe. Somewhere between folk and pop, her sound always carries that wonderful sensitivity that brings chills sooner or later.
In “Did the Mountain Change You?”, there’s so much to love. The delicate vocal harmonies in the chorus, the production full of beautiful little details you’ll catch with a good pair of headphones, and that melancholic melody that might even bring you to tears along with Laura. But instead of crying, maybe it’s better just to take in the moment. You’ve just found a stunning song, possibly one of the most touching love songs ever written, and you’re among the first to witness the rise of a brilliant new star. Laura Lucas still has many surprises for us…
Laura Lucas’s take on “Did the Mountain Change You?”
“It tells the experience of holding onto something that no longer exists and searching for the meaning in someone else’s experiences“.
