Draping you in a fragile, subdued daydream comes Yorina's "Memory Flood," which opens like descending into a memory where time swirls through wistfulness and longing—quivering with hope. Yorina's delicate, airy sweetness opens up a slight crack of rawness in emotion that balances fragility with power. Its indie-folk underpinnings are interwoven with electro-pop accents, and the song elegantly straddles time-honored elegance alongside contemporary resonance. A type of lamentation in verse and a wander through lost instances is what "Memory Flood" provides: a lyric reminiscence mournful to the bittersweet wish for bygone woes.

Those lines, "Praying for somebody here / To hold my thoughts / Cause they're fading," ring with haunting beauty that somehow seems apt enough to sum up the fleeting nature of memories. With her voice as a guide, Yorina's solo writing boasts a bittersweet breadth of harmonic warmth that evokes the sensation you are listening to your own reminiscence brought up from deep below sea level—all while lying on the floorboards and staring at scrubbed warehouse ceiling lights; past shadows released through decay. The melodic saturation and the harmonic revelations of "Memory Flood" make it well nigh impossible to resist, a song that beguiles with its ears-open simplicity and innate charm. Yorina cries out for a guard of her tunes in the new one, hitting us right in our safety feels as she shows us how to hide from life's harsh winds while embracing self-exploration and emotional strength.
