ROREY: I Get It Now

What do you do when love is no longer enough—and holding on costs you more than just letting go?   New York singer-songwriter ROREY joins The Jeremiah Show for a deeply personal conversation about heartbreak, self-respect, bipolar disorder, and the music that emerged from one of the most difficult relationships of her life.   Her new album, I Get It Now, available August 14, chronicles the slow disillusionment of loving someone deeply while realizing the relationship cannot survive. ROREY opens up about carrying a relationship long after she knew she should put it down, romanticizing someone's absence, learning to choose herself, and finally accepting that some people change your life without remaining in it.   ROREY also discusses how songwriting has helped her navigate bipolar disorder and intense emotional states. For her, creating music isn't simply an artistic exercise—it's a form of survival. "I write for myself," she explains. "In the moment, it's a form of therapy."   We go inside the stories behind "Dying Fire," "I'm Sure," "Temporary Tragedy," "Quiet Love," and her new single "Binary Thinking," a song inspired by the unanswered questions left behind when someone disappears from your life without explanation.   ROREY also takes us behind the visual world surrounding her music, including the remarkable one-take video for "Hurts Me to Hate You," created with her mother, and her noir-inspired video for "Binary Thinking."   Ultimately, I Get It Now isn't a record about having all the answers. It's about the moment when you finally stop fighting what you already know.   "This album has no ego and no pride," ROREY says. "I am not posturing. I am devastated. In every single song, my heart is bleeding. And I have no shame in that."   ROREY's new album I Get It Now is available August 14.   Music featured in this episode: "Dying Fire" "I'm Sure" "Give Me a Reason" "Binary Thinking"   ROREY'S SOCIALS   INSTAGRAM   TIKTOK   WEBSITE   Photo: Olive Jolley    CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Rory and her new album 04:51 The song 'Dying Fire' and its emotional meaning 07:31 Reflections on dysphoria and mental health 12:52 The story behind 'I Get It Now' and its themes 17:08 Lyrics and songwriting process for 'Understated' 22:28 Projecting onto the present and past relationships 26:29 The significance of releasing her album 30:13 Living with deep emotional sensitivity 35:21 Music videos and visual storytelling 45:31 Collaborations with Scott Effman and Jimmy 49:48 The creative process behind 'Binary Thinking' 54:18 What Rory wants listeners to feel and see 01:00:23 The meaning behind 'I Get It Now'   POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS - Listen More & Evolve   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Partner with The Jeremiah Show  BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network  www.thejeremiahshow.com https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.
