In this updated version, Sage performs the deeply introspective song as part of a stripped back studio arrangement, the video littered with lyrics written in Sage\u2019s own handwriting to emphasise the ruminative elements of the song itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Compared to some of Rachael Sage\u2019s other songs, \u2018Cave\u2019 could be said to be more downbeat and serious than some of her other offerings. However, the lyrics never stray into depressive territory and instead remain curious and honest about Sage\u2019s emotions and the state of the world as a whole &#8211; taking on a new meaning in light of lockdown isolation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Storytelling has always been one of Sage\u2019s strong suits, but she really comes into her own on this track, a standout moment of her album &#8216;Character&#8217;, in which she traverses the plains of health, gratitude, wonder as she recovers from a life-changing year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In \u2018Cave\u2019, we see the quieter side of this recovery as Sage displays her fears over an understated guitar part. The song is a triumph of strength through vulnerability, one of the key themes of Sage\u2019s album, and something we can all relate to during these difficult days.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OL0VIbNrHyw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest release from indie label owner and songwriter extraordinaire Rachael Sage is a look back at her past, and another full circle moment at a very significant point in her musical and personal journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":65685,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446,640],"tags":[825,23871,77,370,18471,5391,116,10677,81],"class_list":["post-65684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-videos","tag-cave","tag-character","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-polly-havelock","tag-rachael-sage","tag-review","tag-single-review","tag-video"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-h5q","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":60075,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2020\/02\/rachael-sage-introduces-us-to-her-demons-with-perceptive-and-dark-track-character\/","url_meta":{"origin":65684,"position":0},"title":"Rachael Sage is back with the perceptive and dark track, \u2018Character\u2019","author":"Polly Havelock","date":"21\/02\/2020","format":false,"excerpt":"If you are already accustomed to Rachael Sage\u2019s upbeat and bright songwriting style, prepare yourself for an auditory double-take as the first few notes of new track \u2018Character\u2019 set in.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Music&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Music","link":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/category\/music\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/NewsImage_vcsPRAsset_1619277_157120_7915147d-577f-4540-8099-97fa59fcfe37_0.png?fit=250%2C248&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":56271,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2019\/10\/rachael-sage-releases-the-beautifully-personal-braverys-on-fire\/","url_meta":{"origin":65684,"position":1},"title":"Rachael Sage Releases The Beautifully Personal \u2018Bravery\u2019s On Fire\u2019","author":"Polly Havelock","date":"10\/10\/2019","format":false,"excerpt":"Rachael Sage has never been an individual or artist to shy away from frankly telling the truth candidly, directly and sincerely over the course of her impressive career.
