Following the growing momentum of Listening—which has landed on notable indie folk playlists and been highlighted by outlets like Purple Melon and Indie Folk Central—Dellwood returns with We Could Awake, a cinematic indie folk track layered with ghostly vocoder harmonies and raw introspection.

Blurring the lines between organic warmth and ethereal textures, We Could Awake explores the tension between staying in the comfort of the past and stepping into something unknown. The refrain—"Like digging for gold, am I made to break, or face it?"—poses the central question: Do we fold under the weight of fear, or do we find the courage to awaken? The song captures the quiet wrestling between doubt and purpose, between clinging to familiarity and embracing the risks of growth.

Set against flickering fireplace embers and fleeting memories of Minneapolis flights, the lyrics paint an intimate portrait of longing, uncertainty, and the hope that waking up—to life, to love, to purpose—is worth the risk. If Listening was a quiet confessional, We Could Awake is the moment of reckoning.

Some Things Distinct & Some Things Whole

All You Show

Without A Heart

Like the flow 
Of the wind and water
I’m contained yet free

And by the sun
I’ll become my shadow
Darkness lets me breathe

'Cause a force with no weakness
Is like sleep without dreams and
Pain bares a patient road

Oh, I can’t explain it
How I’m changing shape, yet
My fevered heart still beats

Yeah, this world I’m chasing
Well, it’s right in my hands
'Cause within the heart of me
Is the heart of everything

The heart of everything 

And I’m the wildfire
Raw and all-consuming
I’ve learned to destruct

Then, as the seed
I fight right back blooming
Hewn again, retouched

'Cause a force with no weakness
Is like skies without seasons
Hope is a softened stone

No, I can’t explain it
How I’m changing shape, yet
My fevered heart still beats

Yeah, this world I’m chasing
Well, it’s right in my hands
'Cause within the heart of me
Is the heart of everything 

Woven under
I bleed every color
Crashing down right with the waves

And I can’t explain it
How I’m changing shape, yet
My fevered heart still beats

Yeah, this world I’m chasing
Well, it’s right in my hands
'Cause within the heart of me
Is the heart of everything 

Oh, the heart of everything
So what becomes of me?

My fevered heart still beats
The heart of everything
My fevered heart still beats
