About
“it would feel like this” is a melodic piano instrumental piece, portraying the calm, peaceful feeling that comes after Marie’s catharsis throughout the album.
The title of this track, which serves as the album’s finale, is a continuation of the album’s title, “if I could make it go quiet, it would feel like this”; “It” being the mental noise she suffers from, and “this” being the calmness conveyed throughout this instrumental.
Though, the track doesn’t resolve, ending the album with unsolved tension which could signify that Marie hasn’t yet gotten to this place of quiet.

[The title] if i could make it go quiet is all about the mental noise, all the feelings and thoughts that are so big they just take up your entire mental capacity and take over your entire body. This song feels like ‘If I could make it go quiet, it would feel like this.’ This place of quietness, this beautiful place where I’m able to be OK. I’m taking it all in. It feels like the credits to a movie because the album is so full, you could get to like, ‘Holy cow, what did I just listen to?’ There’s no words. You don’t need any. I’ve just poured my heart out in all of these songs.
