Reflecting on the inspiration behind “Migraine,” Craigie emphasizes the urgent need for greater awareness and empathy towards migraine sufferers. “Migraines have been front and center in my life for several decades,” she explains. “My hope is that this song helps to raise awareness of the effects of this disease.” By sharing her personal journey through music, Craigie aims to spark conversations and challenge misconceptions surrounding migraines, ultimately fostering a more supportive and understanding society for those living with chronic pain.
