The confessional folk-pop track finds the California-born singer trying to save a failing romance as her childhood pain surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She strums an acoustic guitar urgently and delivers the song in an earnest stream of consciousness. It moves between pleading desperation and a resignation to the familial ghosts she cannot outrun. This is the sound of guts spilling and the rushing emotions in Grace\u2019s \u201cBloodstream\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I Am My Father\u2019s Daughter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alyssa Grace - bloodstream (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FOJ4A4wixDg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@alyssagraceofficial\/video\/7640617340819819790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explained<\/a> on TikTok that she\u2019d written \u201cBloodstream\u201d about a boy. But the song also reveals the lingering pain from a tumultuous childhood.<br><br><em>And I\u2019m sitting here convincing you to pick up the phone and call,<br>I am my father\u2019s daughter, but I\u2019m nothing like him at all.<br>And I hear him in the way I speak, or when I look in the mirror,<br>The anger\u2019s growing in me; it shows, could it be any clearer?<br>That I\u2019m like him \u2019cause he made me the way I am,<br>When we\u2019re fighting, and all I need is somebody<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boy has empathy for her, but the pain she\u2019s carrying remains an emotional anchor. So the relationship disintegrates as she pleads for him to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And I\u2019m crying on my mama\u2019s floor, why don\u2019t you want this anymore?<br>And I\u2019m craving you to change for me.<br>You\u2019re saying, \u201cI hear you, and I love you, but my heart, it hurts for you,<br>And I just cannot give you what you need.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I Don\u2019t Regret Loving You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the violence never lands on her, the boy cannot control his temper as he pummels doors in fits of rage. And the chaos only reinforces the persistent trauma she continues to carry in and out of relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You never laid your hands on me, and that\u2019s something that I\u2019m grateful for,<br>But I should\u2019ve known that you\u2019d gone mad when I saw the way you punched your doors.<br>And I don\u2019t regret loving you, \u2019cause I know that you needed it,<br>But the way you treated me made me feel like a little kid.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On her confessional folk-pop song &#8220;Bloodstream&#8221;, Alyssa Grace tries to save a failing romance as her childhood pain surfaces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":4518,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Getty Images","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[463,439],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-4394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-alyssa-grace","tag-indie-pop"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"Alyssa Grace","term_id":463,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/alyssa-grace\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
