Singer-songwriter Michelle Murrell, who grew up in Budgewoi and now lives in Gorokan, has released her eighth single I Wear Your Chain, a deeply emotional track inspired by the loss of her mother.
The song will feature on Murrell’s debut album, Flannel Flowers, due for release later in 2025.
Produced by acclaimed musician Bill Chambers, the song features a hauntingly beautiful arrangement, with Meagan Jane providing stirring backing vocals and Gabbi Louise adding a soulful touch on the violin.
A poignant reflection on grief and love, I Wear Your Chain draws listeners into Murrell’s journey of healing and remembrance.
With heartfelt lyrics, the track captures the universal pain of loss, while offering comfort to those who have experienced similar heartache.
“This song is one of the most personal I’ve written,” Murrell said.
“Losing my mum has been a transformative experience, and I Wear Your Chain is my way of keeping her memory alive.
“It’s about the small, tangible things, like a chain around my neck, that keep us connected even in absence.
“I hope it resonates with anyone who’s loved and lost.”
Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, Murrell’s musical style is characterised by a unique and distinctive vocal sound, blending a country-folk twang with the influence of her 90s grunge upbringing.
Her musical expression is complemented by the rhythmic accompaniment of her husband James, who often joins her on percussion.
Together, they create an immersive experience, drawing listeners into an experience that leaves a lasting impression.
