Indie Folk Rock with some Psychadelic flair

Resting From Their Labors

A song about ending a friendship. 

Turned my car down a shaded road
intent to visit my baby's home
regretted leaving seven years ago cause
all I found was a headstone
I asked her mama when the end had come 
she said right after I had gone
she only said that it was time to go and
then, she said, she made it so
so along the fields I drove
remembered smoking at drive in shows
sneaking in through her window her
laying there, breathing slow
we took pictures on the railroad track
went out dancing with boys in drag
I never said I wasn't coming back 
I never said that I would go
Then one day I heard Tom Petty
thought I should go and see my baby
so I turned down the road that's shady
wondering if I'm too bold
with her departed from this life
darkness has overcome the light
so lay a headstone down as mine
cause it's time for me to go

Headstone

Breathe

Oak and Cypress

Ever

Be Well

Just A Dance

Downpour

You Will Be


Covered in Snow by Deva Yoder is a hauntingly beautiful ballad for the winter season that drifts like a gentle snowfall. With ethereal, choral vocals that weave in and out, the song wraps you in a warm, tranquil embrace. The delicate strumming of an acoustic guitar, the soft rise of a cello, and the delicate tinkling of piano create a soundscape, with each note falling softly like snowflakes. Layers of harmonies build with a tender, swaying rhythm, creating a feeling of serenity and peace. It's a song that captures the magic of the season, a soothing lullaby that lingers in the heart long after the music fades.

Covered in Snow

Denver-based indie artist Deva Yoder returns with her latest single, “Stories,” available everywhere. Blending a classic 50s rhythm with modern indie rock textures, the song features raw acoustic strumming and sharp electric guitar tones reminiscent of The Strokes.

“Stories” delves into the emotional weight of imagined futures, with Yoder’s signature lyricism capturing the spiraling thoughts that blur fantasy and reality. Anchored by the poignant refrain—“I’ve been making up stories / They make me so sad that I feel like they happen”—the track offers a relatable meditation on anxiety, hope, and the narratives we build in our minds.

Known for her heartfelt Americana roots and fierce DIY spirit, Deva Yoder continues to evolve with “Stories,” adding another compelling chapter to her acclaimed musical journey.
