Here is a story inspired by the raw energy and themes of the track: The Weight of Silence
Elena sat in the driver's seat of her beat-up sedan, the engine idling in the driveway of the house that was no longer "theirs." The radio was low, but the opening chords of "It’s So Hard" began to bleed through the speakers.
The song by Dutch rock icon Anouk was released in 1998 as part of her debut album, Together Alone . It serves as a gritty, soulful anthem for anyone who has ever felt stuck in the heavy, suffocating aftermath of a breakup.
