a number of weeks immediately after allowing us into the minds of these struggling with depression on "
Now I'm In It," the
Haim sisters returned with a heartfelt and spiritual ballad that anyone who's suffered a loss will definitely hold dear. "Hallelujah," Alana revealed, is about family member, love, loss, and being thankful for it all." It's also a tribute to a friend she lost at just 20 years old in a tragic vehicle accident.
In the initial verse, Danielle sings about easing fears and tears drying in time. Here, the sisters aren't dwelling on hardships, nevertheless as a substitute attempting to heal from them. And however they've lost someone dear in the physical world, they've gained both an angel and perspective. "Give me direction whenever it is hard to fight," Este sings before bursting into a bone-chilling harmony with Danielle on the chorus. "Three roads, one light." Then, Alana addresses the loss directly. "I had a best friend yet she has come to pass," she sings. And though her friend is no longer with us, her spirit is omnipresent. "Everywhere, you've been with me all along," Alana sings before she and her sisters harmonize over one final "hallelujah." With each other, they can get through anything. —
