ALT BLK ERA - Straight To Heart (Official MV)

STRAIGHT TO HEART
Straight To Heart is a song written when I was at my most vulnerable...

I became chronically ill during lockdown where I was in constant, excruciating pain throughout my body. Partly due to my illness and partly due to the high-strength pain medication I was prescribed, I existed in a fog of dream-like, whispery moments where I was slept for 20hr days.

Over the months and years, in my moments of clarity I noticed that my friends had forgotten about me and as I slowly came out of the intense fog I was in, they made no effort to reconnect. I was left out in the cold, forgotten about, so I had to deal with both the physical and emotional pain. I was incredibly lonely and my life was a shell of just existing.

This all happened during my teen years, an important time in my life where I was finding out who I was. The lockdowns and then my illness robbed me of those important experiences.

The song is for anyone struggling with, or who has ever felt loneliness, being abandoned or neglected.

When that body dysmorphia comes on my bad days, I take it straight to heart. Thanks for this, its a really good solace

[ValocityGames]

I absolutely love this song, I started by finding 'My Drummer's Girlfriend' a few days ago and then this song. I am awe-inspired by the backstory of the song and how relatable it is as a 17 year old diagnosed with severe depression. "Don't blame me, I'll take it straight to- Don't leave me, I'll take it straight to-" ❤.

[The.Rainbow.Bridge]

Man, I love this song, it’s so good 😩. And as someone with a lot of physical and mental health conditions, I can honestly relate to this a little too well myself. I truly don’t understand how y’all aren’t more popular, you’re definitely in my top 3 favorite artists for sure 🖤🤍

[the_dingo_show]

Great song, Excellent production, No human should have to live through that experience 🖤
May music forever heal our souls

[dorianeroars]

[henriikkakamula]

Wow, just wow! You guys absolutely blew my mind. A phenomenal music video for a phenomenal song❤ This and I'm normally like this are definitely my favorites!! You guys are just so freaking cool. I love your styles so much! You make me want to be myself and chase my dreams. Keep going, you're doing amazing💕💕

[vanztorres]

Awh this made me so sad :( your vulnerability made a beautiful masterpiece. I’m sorry you had to go through that but I’m so happy to see you shining like the bright star that you are. I love you.

[ITSL]

Love from Texas, I love all y’all’s songs this is def one of my favs so far!

[NastygaIz]

Another absolute banger by ALT BLK ERA lets

[micke_mango]

I love the vibe of this song 💜
Just realising, when relistening to this song... the intro reminds me of an early 00s song - Addis Black Widow - Goes Around Comes Around

[CenCalMustang]

The DnB is doooope, you guys got another banger!

[itsnotaphasemom]

I love this song so much!! You girls are going to go far and I can't wait to see it happen!!! I really relate to this song because I've had friends leave me because of my mental illnesses. The worst was during a particularly scary time for me because I didn't know what was going on and I still never found out why it happened. I just fear it coming back, I wish that no one had to deal with things like this. It doesn't help that I keep getting sick as well, it's like both my mind and body refuses to be well and I only just turned 18 this year. Anyway, I hope you guys find friends who will truly support you through anything. You deserve it.☆

[visionsofvicious]

Yoy guys are so under rated... I see big big things in your future. Keep smashing them out

[YarrowNjune]

what a banger, hope it gets you famous

[discrot]

I absolutely love your music, it's so fucking good! Also, as a chronically ill person I relate to this hard. Thank you for writing this.
