Singer-songwriter Gwyn Love, based in Los Angeles, takes a deeply personal emotional perspective on "die a little less," a new song exploring the complicated intersection of depression, mental illness, and love. The track marks a reunion with Toronto-based producer La+ch, continuing their creative partnership.
"die a little less" was written by Gwendolyn Clark, Charlie Kerr, and Robert Benvegnu and explores the emotional contradiction of fighting mental illness while also finding a relationship that gives you new reasons to imagine a future. With Charlie Kerr of Hotel Mira, the song gets at that experience with startling honesty.
The track is particularly affecting in how love transcends romance. It symbolizes life's potential when you see it differently. The emotional weight is in the tension between a hard inner reality and the surprise of hope in creating something meaningful with another person.
"die a little less" considers how love can challenge our long-held expectations of the future and make possibilities that once felt distant feel worth exploring. La+ch's production ties the song's collaborative base together, while the writing provides the track's emotional core. Love's choice to explore a deeply personal topic makes the song feel intimate without sacrificing its wider appeal.
