"Hiding Tonight" by Alex Tuner, contributed by Ana Barba (2025)
"Hiding Tonight” is song that is not explicitly about dealing with loss, but rather focuses on the notion of taking a step back from the pace in which people aspire to lead their lives when they are going through a difficult moment. It begins by saying, “Tomorrow I’ll be quicker. I’ll catch what I’ve been chasing after and have time to play, but I’m quite alright hiding today.”
This is a song I’ve turned to, in order to deal with not only difficult times but also the instances of loss that I’ve experienced. It really seems to say, “Okay, something has affected the rate and pace at which I lead my life. And that's okay, and I’ll be faster and stronger than I am in this moment, but for now it’s alright to hide and step back".
