Leeds-born and London-based Eden Rain shares haunting ballad ‘Growing Pains’.
‘Growing Pains’ is a stripped-back piano ballad where Eden can’t let go of the past. With each song, Eden Rain has evolved into a compelling voice in the alt-pop scene.
“I wrote ‘Growing Pains’ with Iain Berryman and it just kind of tumbled out after I saw online that someone I used to be really really close to was moving on with their life- and I realised I didn’t know them anymore. I love so deeply and hungrily that once I care about someone, I just can’t let go. I’ll pine and pine and think about them forever… I think I’m even half waiting for them to hear this song and come back to me lol. After we wrote it, I felt honestly mortified-like I’d accidentally admitted to myself that I’m really bad at letting go, even when people have actually been pretty shitty to me. It felt kind of desperate, like… they probably don’t even think of me anymore. But I guess that’s what the song’s really about-holding on too tightly to something that’s already let go of you.”
