Margo Mann - The Worth Of It [Video]
A hesitant piano confession slowly swells into something hauntingly beautiful.
Beauty does not always reveal itself immediately. Sometimes it gathers slowly, note by note, until it becomes impossible to resist. Melbourne artist Margo Mann is the moniker of songwriter Taylah Carroll, whose evocative songwriting and cinematic sound explore liberation, discovery, and the reclamation of self. With its soft piano, deliberate vocal delivery, and beautifully controlled swell, “The Worth Of It” feels like a particularly exquisite expression of her artistry.
Mann’s skillful and versatile vocals bring Kate Bush’s singular craft to mind, but her music feels less expansive and more hesitant, as though each emotion must first gather the courage to surface. Hauntingly beautiful, “The Worth Of It” intensifies as it unfolds, gradually drawing the listener into something profoundly affecting.
Carroll's own words about the song reflect that simplicity and emotional directness:
“I think it's the second most generous track in the record in terms of its simplicity and directness. The confession of love is only once undercut by the lines ‘Won't come up less I need to, I need air then I'll breathe you.’”
