With holy defiance, she uses her voice to match the tension produced by the haunting melody, with it rising and falling to accentuate lyrics like these from the chorus, “These prison walls fall down when I sing/Hallelujah, my chains are gone/You break the walls down, Lord, when I sing.” Elsewhere, Amanda sings the reminder to herself and her listeners that the war is already won, stating resolutely, “The war is over, so raise a white flag/There’s no time for battle, we’re in the promised land.”
All in all, “Prison Walls” is another tasty appetizer for what promises to be a set of interesting and fresh indie tunes that more ears need to hear. While I still slightly prefer her song “How Long” from 2021, this is a solid addition to her growing canon of work.
