TORONTO — Alex Krawczyk says music has been the route to healing from the shocking and unsolved murder of her parents Barry and Honey Sherman nearly five years ago.
Krawczyk never sings directly about her family, but her lyrics explore feelings of love, loss and grief, providing consoling reassurance and optimism. Krawczyk said she started writing songs for “Le Olam” with Toronto-based songwriter Robbie Roth in 2019 in hopes of helping listeners who were dealing with big challenges in their lives.Roth and Krawczyk went through their process of songwriting together, with Roth handling melodies and Krawczyk penning the lyrics, sometimes vice versa.
On the song"Better Days," Krawczyk shares that despite the struggle, part of the healing process is looking towards tomorrow being better. She sings:"There’s a new day dawning, the sun’s gonna break on through, for me and you." "Remember" carries a more country tone, however the lyrics detail the moments of her anger in the aftermath of her parents' homicide, such as"I wanted you to know the hatred that you've grown is running out of control." But it also has encouraging and heartfelt lyrics such as"leave all of your pain, learn to heal the past behind."
