Marsha Swanson’s “Generational Transmission” moved me in a way that few songs have. It’s as if she tapped into my own experiences and transformed them into lyrics and music. The areas she explores in the song, family, inheritance, and self-awareness—are ones that I believe many of us struggle with, and hearing them brought to life in such a sincere manner was both moving and thought-provoking.
The song begins with a soft piano melody, which quickly creates a thoughtful tone. For me, it was like opening an old photo album, with each image containing a memory or tale you hadn’t considered in years. Marsha’s vocals are divine and they have an expressive depth that captures your attention from the first phrase.
