Marsha Swanson’s “Generational Transmission” struck a chord with me from the very first listen. As a woman who’s often reflected on the traits, struggles, and stories passed down through my own family, this song feels like it was written for anyone navigating their roots, including me. The warm piano introduction draws me into an intimate space, it is like sitting by a fire, lost in thought. Marsha’s vocal carries a raw honesty that makes you feel seen, especially when she sings about the weight of inherited patterns and histories.

As the track progresses, the drums and strings come alive in the mix, echoing the complexity of the emotions Marsha explores. It’s both a reminder and a release, a chance to acknowledge the past while finding the courage to break free from its hold.
