"Dragging weary bones on the forest floor, treading water is making my joints sore." — Marceau captures the raw, ungraceful reality of perseverance in her new single, Carry On.
Inspired by the exhaustion of getting back up after life’s setbacks, this song gives listeners permission to sit with their struggles—without toxic positivity. It sonically blends indie-folk and alternative rock influences to create a melancholic mood with a haunting yet vibey melodic bassline.
Carrying on doesn’t always mean facing the world with renewed energy or hope. Sometimes, it’s simply enduring—the kind of endurance that aches and wears you down but carries an unspoken strength in its quiet persistence. Carry On is a song for sitting in the mud with someone who understands. It’s a permission slip to feel what you feel—to acknowledge the pain, the weight, and the struggle—without needing to make it pretty or inspiring.
For anyone feeling the weight of carrying on, this song is a companion in solidarity, capturing the profound and often messy moments of simply being.
