‘In Our Own Time’ is a song about letting go of society’s expectations around success and failure, and finding our way through life at our own pace. It’s also a conversation with our creator about grief, hope and grace, and the decision we’ve made to dig our heels in and build something beautiful.

In Our Own Time (Single)

Devotion - w/ Zalmy Yanover, David and Goliath

Each of the 11 tracks of “Beautiful Wasteland” takes you on an introspective journey as Jordan shares lines from his own journals of love, loss, grief, and solidarity. Frye’s songwriting belongs to a tradition of storytelling-rich lyricists like Sufjan Stevens, but is infused with the energy of indie-alt pop experimenters like Shawn Mendes or Ed Sheeran. Channeling the essence of James Taylor, the anthemic heights of Brandon Flowers, and nostalgic sounds of Snow Patrol or Keane, this album is sure to be your soundtrack of the year.

Beautiful Wasteland

Say So Long

Jordan Frye - Say So Long

nothin

I have known you for so long
Others come and go but you are still here
And I hold dear, dearer than most
When you're not here, I feel you close
You are the best friend that I've ever known
And I hope you know

That you may have loved me first but I loved you more
And I may have touched your heart but you stole mine whole
You were my first winter
And I still feel the cold

When we were young, you shook my bones
But I was too damn scared to let it show
There are still things that I haven't told you
I know there are ways that I cannot hold you
Without holding you down
My small hands around you
Will wear you out

That you may have loved me first but I loved you more
And I may have touched your heart but you stole mine whole
You were my first winter
And I still feel the cold

Mutually

“Grab your loudest pair of noise-canceling headphones, and lay in your darkest room to prepare for the masterfully haunting musical chamber that is Edward and Jane’s “Blue Ridge Goodbyes”.

Blue Ridge Goodbyes

The song is about knowing when to let go, realising you can't control everything and being magnetised to someone :)

Day breaks
And I love the way you lay there
And darling I could stay here
Forever from the cold

Moulded
And I love the way you're holding
But we don't need to go nowhere
We'll bleed into the folds

Oh, our love it will fade with the snow
No, our love wasn't made to grow
Oh, our love it will fade with the snow
But oh, it's better than waiting alone

Hounded
There's something in the sounding
When all our lights come falling down
Like we were never here

So hold tight
Keep running on the fault lines
We're only for a short time
Before we disappear

Oh, our love it will fade with the snow
No, our love wasn't made to grow
Oh, our love it will fade with the snow
But oh, it's better than waiting alone

My love are you coming home?
My love are you coming home?
My love are you coming home?
My love are you coming home?
My love

All Along The Road

Snow

Releases February 19, 2021. "Sunnyside" is the title track from Frances Luke Accord's upcoming EP, out March 19 via their new label, Two-Dale Records. 

Lyrics:

Take me, mama take me 
Could you take me on down
On down from my rain cloud
When I'm heavy
Heavy as a rose of summer 
Left out in the snow
Take me when I’m heavy
Take me mama-o 

Shake me, papa shake me
I’m a gambling spade
A gamble and a scramble
Sunny side up some days
But one day, papa one day
I will blow this world away
One day, papa one day
Blow this world away

Some day, brother some day
When the light ain't so low
One day when the storm
Ain’t so heavy
Some day we will see
Eye to eye oh, you and me
One day we will see
One day, you and me

Someday we will see 
How bright some light can be
One day we will see
One day, you and me
