“Hatcher Creek is a song about the ways we cope with adversity before we know how to overcome it”, says Emi Night, songwriter and front-woman of Strawberry Runners, in a statement. “I was abused as a child. In this song, I attempt to capture the immense complexities present in familial abuse, in the relationship between abuser and child: the entanglement of power, violence, affection, and hope that allows devastating patterns to persist. In retrospect, however dark and terrifying these events were, they were more valuable to my development than I could have possibly foreseen.”
