"Hurt" comes from Collapsed in Sunbeams, Arlo Parks' 2021 album, and it's a song that sounds like consolation. Parks wrote the words and the music with GianLuca Buccellati, who produced it and played nearly everything: drums, bass, guitar and synthesizer. Venna adds saxophone, and David Wrench mixed it. The groove is easy and supple, the beat soft but insistent, and Parks sings in a warm, close, almost conversational voice that makes the hurt in the title feel like something that can pass.
