Come Join Us in Lizzy Cruz’s Outer Space Garden
Listening to Lizzy Cruz’s “Where Do I Go From Here” will no doubt take you to another dimension. With a medley of atmospheric synths and guitars, and Cruz’s flow-y falsetto voice, we are transported to a sun-filled outer space garden on a dewy spring day. Among the daisies, stars and mist, we hear the piano like gentle drops of water falling into a pond.
Cruz hints at this otherworldly feel with lyrics like “it’s taken a few days to come back down from outer space” and “all my fears are hanging ‘round the atmosphere”. Considering Lizzy wrote this song in honour of Mental Health Awareness Month, this space-y feel parallels what it feels like to dissociate and lose track of time. Indeed, the passage of time is marked by a soft beat which sounds just like a ticking clock. And once we “come back down from outer space”, we are left wondering “where do (we) go from here?”
