Into the Heart of the Forest — and the Self
Roxy Rawson’s “I Found a Place in the Woods” isn’t just a song—it’s a quiet reckoning wrapped in the soft light of strings and breath. The track feels like walking through a misty forest at dawn, each note brushing past you like a branch heavy with memory. Produced by Jherek Bischoff, it moves with chamber-folk elegance—piano and violin weaving a spell that feels both fragile and eternal.
Rawson’s voice is the centerpiece: ethereal yet resolute, like someone who’s lived through storms and learned to hum through the aftermath. There’s something distinctly human about how her vocals hover between ache and acceptance, charting that liminal space between grief and renewal. You can sense the echo of solitude, but also the slow flicker of light that follows healing.
The accompanying animated video deepens the story—a woman lost, rediscovering herself amid the trees. It mirrors the emotional pull of the music, a reminder that nature often reflects what’s unresolved inside us.
What makes “I Found a Place in the Woods” so affecting isn’t its grandeur but its restraint. It doesn’t demand your attention—it earns it, gently. By the time the final notes fade, you’re left with that rare kind of stillness that only comes after transformation. This isn’t just a return to the woods; it’s a return to oneself.
