Top 100 Songs of 2020: #15 Samia - Big Wheel

Simple, conversational and cutting, the lyrics in "Big Wheel" have a subtle poetic brilliance in them that's difficult to ignore. "Big Wheel" is a vignette of stories told from a narrator coping with the natural losses that occur as we age. Samia has a gift for painting the particular pangs and burdens of 20-something existentialism: we're all acting at varying rates of emotional availability and no expectation is consistent, let alone communicated clearly.
