“Wine in Bed” by Alexx Mack – A Song Review

     Her voice is impactful in carrying the pain of her experiences. An effective vocalist draws the listener into a climate and then wraps the listener in the appropriate emotional clothing. Alexx Mack is arresting in “Wine in Bed.” She explains the track as:

  "’Wine in Bed’ is about me learning that my coping methods were adding to the toxicity in my life and relationships. I would drink and cross my fingers to feel better, and almost every time I'd end up making another mistake. I thought that every sign was pointing to me needing to be alone, the truth was that I was pushing everything good in my life away."

     Alexx Mack begins as a solidary voice, aiding in the portrayal that she is isolated. But the harmonization that enters at the chorus is both powerful and delicate. The instrumental support is thoughtfully arranged, being minimalist, dreamlike and forceful at different times to suit the mood.

     Alexx is based in Los Angeles. According to her bio, she was born in Atlanta and raised in Florida. She started writing songs by the age of seven. Her parents were supportive of desire to pursue music. After graduating high school a year early, she headed to Los Angeles.

Lyrics of “Wine in Bed” by Alexx Mack (some weak guesses here. Sorry)

I fly solo, so high

All I got, all I need, all I want is me and I

I had a mister, he wasn't right

But I fall for the same damn “Your eyes are…”, every time

Oh, sometimes I think that I've lost it

Truth is, I don't even want it

I ain't a moving target in my mind

I'm searching for me in the distance

Searching for more than existence

I'm alright

I'll just smoke a cigarette

Drink wine in bed

Tell another lie I can't forget

Slow dance in my own arms

I don't need you to be another false alarm

In this city, no one stays

But I fall for all the same shit anyway

Oh, sometimes I think that I've lost it

Truth is, I don't even want it

I ain't a moving target in my mind

I'm searching for me in the distance

Searching for more than existence

I'm alright

I'll just smoke a cigarette

Drink wine in bed

Tell another lie I can't forget

[I fucked up some shit

But I honestly don’t [?]

Alexx, it’ll fix you]

Oh, sometimes I think that I've lost it

Truth is I don't even want it

I ain't a moving target in my mind

I'm searching for me in the distance

Searching for more than existence

I'm alright

I'll just smoke a cigarette

Drink wine in bed

Tell another lie I can't quite get

I'll just smoke a cigarette

Drink wine in bed

Tell another lie I can't forget
