Stream: “This Little Dove” – BODHI
To set the stage for my album of self-reflection, I begin at my lowest moment – a place of pure burnout and devastation.
* * *
Intimate, confessional, and brooding, BODHI’s latest single hits the emotional sweet spot with stunning precision.
A smoldering, soulful seduction, “This Little Dove” is both soothing and aching: an atmospheric, slow-burning confession that stirs something deep inside. Their voice – beautiful, bold, and heartbreakingly tender – aches with raw vulnerability, turning pain into poetry and burnout into balm. It’s a song you feel in your bones, in your breath, in the quiet places you don’t always let others see.
If I’m on the bend, please save me from myself
Set my vices on a fire, leave me wadin’ in the water
If you need me here I swear pray for my health
I fear my body’s getting old,
I fear I’m losin’ my composure
Released May 30 via Nettwerk Music Group, “This Little Dove” is the third single of the year from the 23-year-old Bridgeport, CT-based artist, and it’s as captivating as it is cathartic. BODHI opens with a plea – “If I’m on the bend, please save me from myself” – and from there, the weight only builds. “I’m on fire, fire! This little dove is tired…” That lyric alone feels like a gut-punch, a whispered cry for help carried on the wind. Burnout, fatigue, and the desperation to keep going pulse through every harmony and every breath, their voice weaving between cinematic swells and soft, aching silences.
I’m on fire (fire)
Please tear me off the wires
I’m losing all control now,
you act like you don’t know
I’m on fire (fire)
This little dove is tired
I’m running low on hope now,
you act like you don’t know
I’m on fire, fire, fire (I’m on fire), fire
“’This Little Dove’ is the intro track for my debut album. This album is about hurt, growth, and self-awareness. All the songs on it are about things I ‘had to live or deal with’ about myself and the people around me, until I realized I didn’t,” BODHI tells Atwood Magazine.
“To set the stage for my album of self-reflection, I start at my lowest moment. A moment of pure burn out and devastation. Everything felt wrong, but why? Well as the lyrics infer, I’m allowing myself to be my worst enemy. I’m allowing myself to be this version of me when I know I can be and do better, and I’m allowing myself to be surrounded by people who treat me the way they do. The build up of instrumentation, harmonies, and volume is a representation of the build up felt within. This message in this song is felt universally, and I hope to draw listeners in to hear and heal with me through the rest of the story.”
That intent radiates through every second of this track. The production is immersive and restrained, letting each word land like a heavy truth. Their vocal performance is otherworldly – gripping, ghostly, gorgeously human. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t just echo your own exhaustion; it offers a quiet place to sit in it, to honor it, and to maybe start healing from it.
My momma told me I run in my sleep
I’ve been runnin’ for forever, lookin’ forward to forgettin’
The land I lay the young, the wild, and free
I will write until the chains off, I’m alive until the chains off
I’m on fire (fire)
Please tear me off the wires
I’m losing all control now,
you act like you don’t know
I’m on fire (fire)
This little dove is tired
I’m running low on hope now,
you act like you don’t know
BODHI may be at the start of a new chapter, now signed to Nettwerk and prepping their debut project, but their voice already carries the weight of experience and the promise of something unforgettable. “This Little Dove” is a breathtaking introduction to an artist who isn’t afraid to meet the darkness head-on – and who sings with the hope that we’ll come out the other side together.
I’m on fire (fire)
Please tear me off the wires
I’m losing all control now,
you act like you don’t know
I’m on fire (fire)
This little dove is tired
I’m running low on hope now,
you act like you don’t know
I’m on (fire, fire, fire, fire)
