Arlo Parks has become a guardian-like figure in delivering encouraging lyrics to her listeners. Verses like “It won’t hurt this much forever” in recent release ‘Hurt’ remind us that no matter what you’re going through right now, no matter how upside down things may feel, you’re not alone and there is light at the end of the tunnel. We got Arlo and Apple Music radio host, Rebecca Judd, to discuss what inspired the hit song in the first place.
