Occasionally, the most straightforward song says the most. With "Stand," folk artist Lisa P performs a song that feels urgent, a reminder of how we can find power in taking a stand.
Rooted in folk tradition and yet modern in its delivery, "Stand" plays like a narrative passed down through generations. Lisa P's vocals are warm and grounded, the sort of honesty that makes you pause and lean in. There's no smoke and mirrors here, just human experience, sung from the heart. The song's message is clear, Holding your ground means resisting the pull of fear, doubt, or adversity. It's not about being perfect, it's about showing up. And the songwriting of Lisa P captures this with quiet force, drawing imagery that's simultaneously personal and universal. You hear the resilience in every note, the unflappable beat of someone who cannot be silenced.
The reason "Stand" works is its intimacy. It's not a screamer of truth, but it whispers with conviction. Backed by folk instrumentation, perfect because it's earthy and beautiful in its imperfections. The sparseness makes room for the words to shine, and the bare-bones lyrics themselves tell us what a bold move it can be to exist.
In a time when folk music has become the voice of telling it like it is, "Stand" stands as both a protest and a prayer. It's music not just meant to be heard, but felt in quiet rooms, at campfires, and from the hearts of those who need courage. On "Stand," Lisa p demonstrates folk music's most powerful constant, its humanity. And right now, that reminder feels like a treasure.
