“Anyway” by Jodie Austen is a song that softly gets its arms around you and then doesn’t let go. It opens quietly, almost like a conversation you’ve had or should have had. Her voice has a richness to it, but there’s something raw underneath — not sad exactly, but honest. The words aren’t dressed up in clever lines or flowery language. It’s about staying, letting go, and figuring out love that didn’t work out. This is a song made to be heard, not overheard.
What makes this track so special is that it tells a whole story without ever feeling forced. Austen wrote it originally as a love letter, and you can hear that intimacy in every line. The real magic though is that she finished it after the relationship ended — and that gives the song a certain quiet power. It’s not angry. It’s not epic. It’s just real. Ed Graves’ production is subtle and attentive, giving Jodie’s words space to breath. You can hear little details — a soft strum, delicate layers — that elevate emotion without overdoing it. It’s hopeful even when it hurts.
