Maren Morris Posts Unreleased Demo of ‘Dear Hate’ in Light of Dallas Shootings
The emotional song, in which she co-wrote with Tom Douglas and David Hodges, addresses hate in a personified perspective that ultimately results in love winning over any bad situation.
In the midst of all of the news about the Dallas shootings, Maren Morris posted an emotional demo of an unreleased song she wrote a couple years ago called “Dear Hate.”
In the acoustic guitar-driven track, Morris addresses hate in a personified perspective as she carries on about the tragic incidences that America has faced throughout the years. She remembers each moment in a deep yet haunting lyric that brings goosebumps to the surface.
“Dear hate/you were smiling on that Selma bridge/in Dallas when that bullet hit and Jackie cried/you pulled those towers from the sky/but even on our darkest night/the world keeps spinnin’ round,” she sings with a calm and steady vocal.
The song, after exploring the fights and trying times, ultimately highlights the reverse feeling and delivers a chilling declaration to the importance of love.
“Dear love/just when I think you’ve given up…I hear you every morning/through the chaos and the noise,” sings Morris in the bittersweet resolution.
Fans thanked the “My Church” singer for her vocal contribution with some saying the message was well-said and others sharing that they had a tearful moment while listening to the song. Morris threw a shout out to her co-writers of the song, Tom Douglas and David Hodges, for their help with the track.
And during such a difficult moment, Morris understandingly coos in the end, “Love’s gonna conquer all.”
