Eliza Harrison Smith’s “Meteor” Hits Like a Heartbeat in Freefall

Sometimes a song doesn't just sound good—it feels like something. Like a first kiss in the rain. Like driving home at night with someone you love asleep in the passenger seat. That’s what Eliza Harrison Smith’s “Meteor” sounds like. It’s soft and bright and devastating all at once—like falling in love with someone who might break your heart, and choosing to do it anyway.

From the first few seconds, you're pulled in by these absolutely dreamy guitar lines that shimmer like sunlight through a window you forgot was open. It's lush. It’s intimate. And it wraps around you like a warm breeze and a warning at the same time. This isn’t just a love song—it’s a falling song. No control, no parachute. Just gravity and want.

Eliza’s voice floats right at the center of it all—clear, vulnerable, with that kind of delicate strength that reminds me of early Taylor Swift (yes, we said it and we meant it). She sings, “Loving you could be the end of me”, and you believe her. Not in a dramatic, movie-ending way, but in that painfully real way where someone makes you feel so deeply, so often, it almost rewires your nervous system.

Every moment she spends with him? It’s a meteor strike. Beautiful, unstoppable, and probably a little dangerous. But there's no calling it quits—not when every spark still lights something up inside you.

“Meteor” doesn’t lean on bells and whistles—it doesn’t need to. It’s all about the emotion. The production is breezy, almost weightless, but every lyric hits like a truth you’ve known forever and just never said out loud. It's indie-pop at its most quietly intense: a confessional slow-burn that leaves you smiling with tears in your eyes.

This one’s a must-add to your “falling too fast” playlist, your “late night overthinking” playlist, and your “I know this will hurt and I’m in anyway” playlist. If you’re a fan of Taylor Swift’s Folklore or Red era, this is going to live in your headphones for a long time.

And honestly? It should. Eliza Harrison Smith isn’t just writing songs—she’s writing emotional timestamps. She’s giving voice to the kind of feelings that sit in your chest long after the moment’s passed. And if “Meteor” is any indication of what’s to come from her new EP The Way I’m Wired, then buckle up. This is going to be a journey worth taking.
