Indie/Indie-Folk Compilation - Summer 2021 ☀️ (alexrainbirdMusic)

April 30th, 2021 - Eugene, OR - On his 36th birthday and five months after the release of his debut album Brave the Storm, Oregon based producer and songwriter Tyler Fortier releases new single “Still Be Here” with accompanying lyric video. Featuring Lex Price (Neko Case, Peter Bradley Adams, Rodney Crowell) on bass, tenor guitar, and bouzouki, Philippe Bronchtein (The War & Treaty, Esme Patterson) on pedal steel, Peter Perdichizzi (The Flys, Beth Wood) on electric guitar, Jeramy Burchett (Nate Bosford) on drums, and Erin Flood Fortier singing harmonies. As with Brave the Storm, “Still Be Here” is released under the moniker Last Year’s Man with Fortier taking on the role of writer, producer, and mix engineer while also contributing acoustic guitar, ukulele, piano, and vocals to the track. Fortier wrote “Still Be Here” along with a handful of singles that will be released throughout 2021 and represented for sync by Complete Tracks, a boutique sync agency based in Vancouver, WA. 
“They initially reached out about representing the new album. We got to talking and I ended up writing some songs for them. I was trying to walk that line between burdened and hopeful. I think we’re all eager for life to get back to what it was in some way or another and this is a love song built out of the idea that it will.”

For Someone

Goodbye

You make me laugh a little louder
Until my sides are sore
You make me smile a little wider
And know what life is for

Only a friend like you
Only a friend like you
Can make my life a little better
Walk a little taller
In everything we do
Only a friend like you
Only a friend like you

You make me see a little clearer
You help me to be brave
And when the noise is getting louder
You help me get away
 
Only a friend like you
Only a friend like you
Can make my life a little better
Walk a little taller
In everything we do
Only a friend like you
Only a friend like you

No one knows how to cheer me up like you
After everything that we have both been through
You know that I always want to be like you

The days should be a little longer
There’s still so much to do

Only a friend like you
Only a friend like you
Can make my life a little better
Walk a little taller
In everything we do
Only a friend like you
Only a friend like you
Can make my life a little better
Walk a little taller
In everything we do
Only a friend like you
Only a friend like you

Only a friend like you

To Be Determined

📝 Lyrics:

Went walking through the forest yesterday
In the calm of a cold November grey
Was alone but not lonely
Found a cabin in a canopy of pines
Thought to myself I wish that were mine

Went walking up to the yellow door
Past the wildflowers I thought I’d seen before
Smelled like cedar and sage
Looked like the sort of place I’d stay a while
An old woman greeted me with a smile

She said years go by faster each time around
Don’t let doubt hold you back from your dreams
If you can’t reach the stars from here on the ground
Instead find the magic between
Tell people how much you love them 
More than you think you should
Yeah that’s what she told me
The old woman in the wood

Went walking down the long memory lane
We shared stories as we danced in the rain
Felt like we’d always been friends
But I didn’t really understand why
She laughed as she looked toward the sky

She said years go by faster each time around
Don’t let doubt hold you back from your dreams
If you can’t reach the stars from here on the ground
Instead find the magic between
Tell people how much you love them 
More than you think you should
Yeah that’s what she told me
The old woman in the wood

She said in time things will be clearer
But for now I’ll be your mirror
And someday you will see
That you’re the younger me

Can’t tell you everything yet
But just know that there’s a whole lot of good
Between now and when you’re an old woman in the wood
Can’t tell you everything yet
But just know that there’s a whole lot of good
Between now and when you’re an old woman in the wood

Emma Schaefer - Old Woman In The Wood (with lyrics)

"Pārlauztas sirdis" ir mūzikas ceļojums cauri sāpēm, mīlestībai un zudumam. Katrs skaņdarbs ir kā asiņojošs atgādinājums par mīlestību, kas beigusies, un attiecībām, kas palikušas zaudētas. Šis albums apvieno elektroniskus ritmus ar melodiskām klavierēm, veidojot spēcīgu atmosfēru, kas pauž emocionālu ievainojamību un cīņu par sirdsdarbību. No sirsnīgām balādēm līdz pārdzīvojuma pilniem, intensīviem bītiem – "Ruptured Hearts" ir albums, kas runā par dzīvi, kas ir salauzta, bet tomēr turpinās.

Klusos vakaros dzirdu tavus melus

‘Feel Again' was written after a meaningless hookup where I felt a desire for something deeper. As a young adult in LA, I was definitely influenced by our modern "hookup culture" to be satisfied with meaningless physical relationships but I began to feel empty and realized that as humans, one of our primary needs is true connection, care and affection. The song was written in the moment when I realized I wanted more. Literally a few weeks later, I met the love of my life.

Feel Again

This song was written and recorded in 1 week for my brothers wedding. A love song

You're My Winter

BLUE.

Anywhere I Can
