In her lyric video for “Takes A Melody,” Darci Lynne reveals a vulnerable side of herself that fans rarely see in which one is filled with memory, loss, and longing. In “Takes A Melody,” Darci Lynne opens the door to a quieter, more personal space. Gone are the puppets and playful skits. Instead, we get a soft piano, aching lyrics, and a voice that gently carries the weight of remembering someone you lost. The song plays like a letter you never sent but needed to write.

Her voice holds a fragile ache but never breaks. It is controlled, but it holds a deep meaning that ends up touching the heart of anyone listening.
