Mirabelle Skipworth’s Cosmic Folk Song “Good Morning” is a Gentle Embodiment of Working Through Inner Emotional and Spiritual Conflict

Mirabelle Skipworth’s elegant guitar work on “Good Morning” follows an unconventional melodic and rhythmic path throughout the song. When her vocals come in to provide a more explicit narrative framework of melancholic and spiritual unrest we are guided through the labyrinth of emotions with music that has an immediacy and intimacy in its intricacies.. In the background a low key drone swells while Skipworth beckons for relief from a deep and unsettling uncertainty that torments her in the early hours when there is time and quiet to contemplate and perhaps untangle this knot of emotion before the activity of daytime demands one’s focus. In moments the yearning and ache Skipworth expresses is reminiscent of some of the emotional resonances one hears in a Joanna Newsom song and though there is more than a strand of the ethereal and ghostly here too its folk stylings are mixed with more than a touch of country.
