Her voice is loud and clear, and the song is anthemic: “On my word / Kick me up from the gutter to the curb,” she sings to fuzzy, punk riffs. Guitar feedback kicks off the next track, “Gutter,” and it sounds as if Vu has shaken off a haze for the first time on the album. While there aren’t any weak links on Public Storage, “Keeper” is an obvious standout with a punchy beat and marks the turn of the record’s notable second half.
“Nothing comes easy / Do you believe in family / Because I don’t think that I do,” Vu sings defiantly on the title track. Altogether, this record is another haunting, memorable entry into her discography.Many of the songs on Public Storage contain eerie undertones, and listening to them feels like walking alone at night.
#KEEPER LYRICS HANA VU SERIES#
Hana Vu shares the most honest version of herself with the world on Public Storage, with vulnerable, stripped-down lyrics and a series of gorgeous instrumentals. By expressing her outlook on the world in her lyrics, the listener comes away with a sense of her inner world. She sounds lost and begs this higher power to “break fall.” The haunting lyrics are sung with multiple harmonies, accompanied by an angelic guitar covered in effects. There is a helpless feeling behind Vu’s vocals and in her lyrics. The last song on the album, “Maker,” asks a higher power for help. This accompaniment is upbeat, but she still gets across sad feelings with a distorted electric guitar and haunting vocals. Everyone in this narrative is sharing the sadness at the celebration described. She sings about the experiencing of a year passing and people realizing they are not who they want to be. “Everybody’s Birthday” is a depressing anthem about the passing of time.

As the song escalates, a distorted guitar joins her with percussion to create a full sound. She asks her lover to turn items in her life into gold and create a new narrative outside of her “hole in the wall.” Minimal accompaniment begins the song with just a gentle piano. “My House” describes a scene of a dirty house and compares it to love. The intricate and emotional lyrics contrast with the upbeat accompaniment, but they still create a dancey atmosphere that listeners can enjoy. Despite this optimistic sound, Vu still sings an honest narrative about love and knowing when it is not meant to be. “Keeper” is an upbeat electronic song with bright drums and synths.
The dark lyrics match well with the distorted accompaniment and create a direct, forward narrative. The topics of the song are dark and pessimistic-she sings about not believing in family and not knowing what is true. As the song’s intensity rises, so do the distortion and volume of the instrumental, leading to a culmination of emotion during and after the choruses. The dark rhythm guitar carries the song throughout the intro and verse. “Public Storage,” the title track, is another honest song. She includes harmonies throughout the song that add layers to the emotion in her voice and allow the story to be the focal point.
The instrumental is haunting but leaves space for her voice and story to shine through. “April Fool” is the first track on the album, on which Vu sings about feeling helpless and out of control.
