El Ten Eleven featuring Emile Mosseri “I’m Right Here”
“I’m Right Here” is a song about being stuck in an emotional limbo, with Emile Mosseri singing about a relationship that just doesn’t quite take off because these two people are never quite on the same page. He seems to be the one who wants more than what he’s getting, but he’s also the guy singing “I don’t feel it half as much as you do,” so go figure. These things get complicated, and his vocal performance and El Ten Eleven’s atmosphere of claustrophobia and melancholy suggest a lot of confused yet agonizing feelings. It crushes me when he sings the title phrase – despite everything, he’s holding on to a bit of hope and faith, and it’s incredibly beautiful and possibly tragic.
