Ellie Byers – Role Play [Single]

In her single “Role Play” singer-songwriter Ellie Byers presents a certain world weariness as she tries to keep a dying romance alive by pretending to be what she thinks that her lover wants. It’s not a song of despair, but there seems to be a lot of mental and emotional resignation in Ellie‘s lyrics and delivery. It’s a bittersweet lament that may catch some people off guard (since the idea of “role playing” is most often accompanied by erotic costumes and sex-fueled scenarios). This is the type of song that needs to feel steeped in sadness, and that’s exactly what you feel as you listen to the chorus. You hear a woman subtly laying herself bare as she talks to her lover. It’s a ballad that captures a very specific and all too real feeling – the feeling of not having anything left to give when a relationship is on its way out.
