Opening with haunting strings, ‘Don’t You Look At Me That Way’ reveals itself as a breathtakingly raw and evocative song from the get-go. Soon enough, an affecting acoustic guitar melody is introduced to accompany Shpresa’s Lleshaj’s soft, exposed vocal. Shpresa poignantly leads Flora Cash’s listener through a powerful confessional of story, filled with insecurity, pain and the strength found from honest communication. As the track develops, it becomes even more haunting with its use of subtle dramatic textures, and suspenseful electronics, seeing the track writhe with a raw, intoxicating energy that sticks with you after the song has stopped playing.
'“‘Don’t Look At Me That Way’ is written from the point of view of someone experiencing a psycho-spiritual crisis; a dark night of the soul.” Flora Cash explains. “The only comfort she finds is in the memories she shares with the person sitting across from her; the person she loves most of all in the world. And she’s asking this person to really look at her; not a projection of what that person wants her to be, but the real Her. She doesn’t want to be saved, only seen.”
‘Don’t You Look At Me That Way’ is a tortured tete-a-tete with melancholia. A piercingly intimate tribute to finding salvation through suffering.
