“Bathetic Farewell” is an alternative bluesy track, penned by Bella Gate when she was just 15 years old. It tells the heart-wrenching tale of a breakup, a theme that many can relate to. Bella’s soulful vocals take center stage, conveying the raw emotion of the lyrics: “Forgive me, my love, I forgot my own name. Please could you tell me the day of the week. I’m sorry if I don’t look the same. But things have been rough, and it’s been pretty bleak. ‘Cause I don’t feel it anymore. Like I don’t feel anything.” Her voice carries the weight of the lyrics, drawing listeners into the depths of her emotional world.
The track was recorded with her producer, Jordan Round, at Sol de Sants studio in Barcelona. This unique setting adds an extra layer of charm to the song, as it was created during a period of living abroad.
