Christine Tarquinio’s latest single, “If I Could” is a musical journey through the intricacies of love, support, and belonging, wrapped in a pop melody that evolves from tender to uplifting. The song opens with a delicate piano introduction, instantly setting a calm tone, only to be gently swept into a more upbeat rhythm as Tarquinio’s vocals rise.
Produced by Daniel Nieberg Music, “If I Could” is a song that captures both the fragility and strength within personal relationships. Lyrically, the song explores the unspoken assurances and deep connections we share with our closest companions. The chorus, with lines like “You know I would, If I could / I’d turn up, I’d be there, I would,” carries a message of support and trust. It speaks to that quiet understanding between loved ones, a theme further echoed in the verses, which describe a transition from uncertainty to comfort. This balance of vulnerability and confidence is what makes the track so relatable.
Fans of artists like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Lana Del Rey will find echoes of their introspective storytelling in Tarquinio’s music.”If I Could” stands out for its uplifting message, which contrasts the darker, more melancholic tones often associated with those influences. The song’s bridge, with imagery like “Happiness is a dog with a wag in its tail” and “Confidence is a smile that you can’t dial down”, adds optimism and light-heartedness.
It’s a song that reminds us of the power of love, trust, and the peace that comes from knowing we are not alone.
