Earlier this month, Vancouver's Jenny Banai released her new single "Intermittent Heart".

With her soft voice lilting over the dreamy strings, she says the song "started as a poem about the philosophical and theological discussions I find myself in. I always feel emotionally involved in these conversations because they are, oftentimes, with people I deeply care about - people who used to think or believe in God, or hold certain values and truths, but no longer do. But I do. I wonder about the synchronicity of our intuition, and how to carry myself when ours don’t meet.
I was very weepy through the process, fresh out of a relationship I thought I had moved on from, which involved a lot of discussion about faith. I sing about closeness and the longing for that closeness when core beliefs are fundamentally different. Is closeness enough? Is love enough if your worldview clashes? In hindsight, I wondered if I wrote a song about my relationship’s end… I tried to write it differently, not wanting to trust my intuition."
