Liam Higgins’ “Through the Wild” feels like a memory you didn’t know you still had. It opens soft, almost like you’re stepping into a quiet winter forest, and before you know it, you’re caught up in this mix of nostalgia and calm that’s hard to shake off. The way he sings about running “into the wild again” hits deep; it’s not just lyrics, it’s that gut-punch feeling of remembering who you used to be before life started piling up.
The song’s got this gorgeous, stripped-back folk sound that somehow feels both huge and intimate. The strings and acoustic guitar don’t fight for attention; they just lift everything up. You can actually picture the scene: boots crunching snow, breath hanging in the cold air, kids darting between trees. It’s one of those songs that doesn’t just play in the background, it sort of pulls you out of whatever’s going on and drops you in another place entirely.
I like this song so much that it should honestly be in everyone’s playlist, because it’s rare to find a track that makes you stop, shut out the noise, and actually feel something real. It wraps up Liam’s EP perfectly, like after all the distance, the fights, the searching, he finally circles back to himself. It’s not flashy, it’s not trying too hard, but it sticks with you in a way that matters.
Listening to songs so you don’t have to! Just kidding :D, you totally should. Music blogger by day, nurse by night
