I just listened to Pretty Pills by heavy on the heart and it really got to me. This isn’t one of those songs you can have playing in the background while you’re doing something else — from the very first second, you know it’s coming in strong.
It’s about those times when life feels so heavy you’ll grab at anything for relief — pills, alcohol, whatever it takes to numb the pain for a while. What’s wild is how they make that darkness feel almost like a place you can hide in, even if it hurts.
The guitar’s tight, like it’s about to snap. The bass holds steady, keeping everything from falling apart, and the drums beat like a heart that just refuses to quit.
Then there’s Nikki Wilmes’ voice — rough around the edges, and that’s exactly what makes it hit so hard. You can tell she’s singing from somewhere real. Sometimes it cracks like it’s about to break, and other times it explodes with so much power it stops you cold.
This isn’t background music. It’s the kind of song you have to sit with, even if it takes you to places you’d rather avoid.
And somehow, even with all its raw edges, it leaves you with a little flicker of hope — like putting that darkness into words and sound makes it just a bit lighter to carry.
More than a song — it’s something you feel, especially if you’ve been through your own rough patches.
