This Song Is For Everyone Who Thinks They're Forever Alone

Colleen Green’s “Deeper Than Love” is so accurate in describing what it’s like to feel insecure and terrified of intimacy that it’s kinda terrifying.

Colleen Green’s second album I Want to Grow Up is basically a quarter life crisis set to catchy ‘90s-style alt rock.

She starts the record off with a bold resolution to change – "I want to grow up / because I'm sick of being immature / I wanna be responsible / and I'm so sick of being insecure" – and the rest of the album shows how that's easier said than done. She sings about dating fickle dudes and dealing with crushing anxiety, and trying to break out of bad habits and negative thought cycles. The album is brave in its unflinching honesty and inspiring in its commitment to changing toxic patterns.

“Deeper Than Love,” the centerpiece of the album, is the darkest track on the record, and the one that delves deepest into the root of Green’s insecurities.

It’s about wanting to experience love and have a real relationship, but knowing that you’re absolutely terrified of true intimacy because you’re convinced no one would ever love you if they knew who you really are.

But this is what she looked like this Sunday, after taking a dip in the freezing waters of Lake Michigan in Chicago as part of the Polar Plunge, raising money for the Special Olympics.
