Ethel Cain - Hard Times - Requested reaction 

Hi. “Hard Times” by Ethel Cain, featured on her album “Preacher’s Daughter,” is a haunting ballad that delves into the effects of trauma on an individual’s emotional and mental well-being. The song captures feelings of pain and longing for a better life as the protagonist grapples with the challenges of breaking free from negative experiences . In this poignant track, Ethel Cain confronts the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her beloved preacher father when she was just a child. Through her music, Cain creates beauty from trauma, exploring the loss of innocence and the lasting impact of toxic family relationships. The album “Preacher’s Daughter” also harks back to the golden age of Tumblr, drawing influences from artists like Florence and The Machine, Lana del Rey, and Sky Ferreira. It’s a work that combines pop grandeur with the rawness of self-discovery.

Mr we’re gonna need the whole album reaction pleaseeee

ZThis song hurts so bad. I was sexually abused as a kid, thankfully not by my father (Ethel's dad abused her like that). It makes me cry so bad

i was waiting forward to this one and im really happy you finally got to it. her music is so powerful and really hits the soul for me.

It’s a shame you didn’t watch the lyric video. I agree that it can be hard to hear what she is saying. I’m not sure if this is intentional or not but I think she is one of the best new artists. The deep storyline she has created throughout preachers daughter is incredible, and her vocals are easier to hear once you have listened and gotten used to her style. I hope you react to another one of her songs with lyrics🤞
