“One More Moment” is a song about perseverance, and this is a personal anthem for Eylsia Nicolas, which was inspired by a time when she was working to get her voice back to the strength she wanted it to be for the song.
Nicolas didn’t just choose progress through setbacks as a theme to explore, as it was a struggle she was going through as she wrote the song. The song was written in a recent break in a demanding creative process. Nicolas could hear the light grit in her voice that had worked for a recent rock duet, but wouldn’t work for this release. She worked to reach the performance she originally envisioned. That experience immediately connects the song’s message to the situation of its making.
“One More Moment” is a songwriting achievement and a personal milestone. It is important because the message is linked to the effort that is needed to achieve it. For Nicolas, the release stands as evidence of creative persistence, and of how personal experience can affect the very process of making the music.
