Tenille Arts Thinks It’s Hard To Love Without Limits

In her song “Somebody Like That” Tenille Arts sings “the real thing won’t be easy, it may take a while,” which she says has some truth in it, “It’s very hard to love without limits, because I think if you are hurt in the past by certain things, you immediately put up a wall or…for me in a new relationship it always takes me a minute to be like ‘Why do I feel that way? Oh yeah, it’s because this happened in the past.'”

Tenille says it’s not just about dealing with your past when you’re in a relationship, but it’s also working through the other person’s as well, “It’s also trying to figure out, why does that person feel that way. If they get upset about something, you have to dive in past and be like ‘Oh, this is why they feel that way.'”

When pasts collide, Tenille admits, “I think that does put up kind of barriers in everybody.”

“Somebody Like That” lists all the things that can go wrong with love, but then pivots to the promise of uncompromising love, Tenille says “Hopefully you find somebody who can just knock all of those barriers down.”
