Review
“Chemical Things” by Sarah Siddiqui is a beautifully moving song that delves into the struggles of mental health and the role of medication. With its mellow alternative folk vibe, the song captivates listeners through powerful lyrics and evocative imagery.
The track sets a somber and urgent tone from the start. The chorus reflects on the relationship between self-identity and medication, questioning how much of it is influenced by drugs and internal battles, with the lyrics “How much of it is you and the drugs… / How much of it is you and the war… / Between you and your brain.“
Siddiqui’s raw and tender vocals, coupled with the simple yet powerful instrumentation create an irresistible allure that resonates deep within.
