Eileen Carey’s latest single “This Is Where” takes the breakup song to a promising new direction. Rather than dwelling on the sadness and loss, the country-pop song takes the perspective that the end of a relationship is actually the beginning of something new.
The song is about two individuals who are separated but choose to continue to hold onto the love, courage and lesson they learned from their time together. Carey does so with openness and affection, reminding listeners that not all relationships are built to last and that’s not a reflection on the memories or experiences.
What’s good about “This Is Where” is the positivity it has to offer. Although the song is rooted in the experience of separation, it is always hopeful. In Carey’s accessible style of singing and positive attitude, the song is easy to relate to – particularly for those who have learned to accept that sometimes moving on is the healthiest way of growing.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of freedom, with Carey inviting the audience to think forward instead of dwelling on what has transpired. It’s a reminder of endings that can bring wisdom, confidence and the courage to be a better version of yourself.
“This Is Where” is finally a gorgeous tribute to development, new beginnings and discovering strength after letting go.
