Music: ‘Weird Faith’, by Madi Diaz (available on streaming services)
One of Nashville’s brightest and most brutally honest songwriters, Madi Diaz, asks a simple question on her new single: “Do you think this could ruin your life? Cause I can see it ruining mine.”
Diaz’s track “Same Risk” explores the insecurities of new relationships and the potential emotional cost of love if it goes wrong. With invested feelings and vulnerabilities exposing you risk in love when you don’t know whether the other person feels the same way.
Weird Faith exists between the time you say “I love you” and the moment they say it back (or don’t), and captures the endless self-questioning a new relationship inspires. Diaz comments, “This record is about the beginning of love, and saying every feeling out loud, when I feel it, for better or worse because I can’t help it.”
When Diaz started writing Weird Faith, she knew it would be bigger than a love story. She didn’t yet know that she was rendering a self- portrait, one that captures the Madi Diaz of a fleeting moment in time, hungrily alive and forever searching. A search that has led to a record highlighting the human experience of spinning out on the fall into love, bold in its honesty, and matching the momentum of Madi Diaz.
