Suzy Callahan speaks for everyone that has experienced a prolonged period of anxiety in her song “Out of Proportion.” The delicate and detailed guitar work help to soften the impact of some of the most poignant and painfully familiar scenarios of self-sabotage ever heard in a song without downplaying the experience. Nothing too brutal just the sorts of things that can happen when you’re expressing your truth and maybe it’s a little too intense for people and maybe you have a hard time gauging when it is in the expression of your feelings. And yet, how many of us have had to go through life feeling like we’ve had to exist in social spaces where you can’t be real and you have to be tightly buttoned up like you’re a character on some TV show where everyone is prim and proper and life isn’t like that and sometimes you can be a wreck or a mess and just need the understanding to get through that and the leeway to be human because not having that is often what leads to neurotic behavior to begin with. When Callahan sings the lines “Didn’t know what to say/So I said something strange/Soon as it came out of my mouth, phew/Everything went south” and then into the chorus of “Blown out/out of proportion/out of proportion” it truly captures a moment most of us have experienced at one point or another because when you have to bottle it all in sometimes it comes out all wrong even if it’s honest yet maybe it had to be said.
