Willow Tree
Tash Sultana feat. Jerome Farah
Grappling with inner turmoil and the struggle to find inner peace and self-acceptance
Why I wrote this song
In the song, the willow tree serves as a metaphor for the speaker’s own struggles and emotions. The song expresses a sense of feeling overwhelmed and burdened by the challenges of life, but also a determination to persevere and find a way through.
Overall, “Willow Tree” is a deeply personal and introspective song that explores themes of self-acceptance, inner strength, and the human struggle to find meaning and purpose in life.
About me as an artist
Tash Sultana, the gender-fluid multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer-songwriter, engineer and entrepreneur has carved out every step in their musical journey over the last 15 years, which has taken them from performing open night mics all over the country, busking the streets of Melbourne to releasing platinum records, accumulating billions of streams, nominations across the globe, to winning awards and selling hundreds of thousands of concert tickets worldwide.
Tash creates, composes, writes, engineers and produces everything that is heard live, and on record. Tash is the band. Their now-famous busking sessions on Melbourne’s Bourke Street catapulted them into the eyes and ears of music fans everywhere, and a viral video of their early song ‘Jungle’ brought them international attention. Since then, it’s been nothing but a meteoric rise.
