Unwired

See You Through will be the 3rd, and final, single released from Ian Randall Thornton's new album, Lineage. Following suit with the album's concept of family and heritage, this track is an ode written from a father to his daughter, instructing her to hold on to truth, awe, and wonder; in the midst of life's ups and downs. Thornton's rustic nuanced voice, and compelling sentimental lyrics, intersect with beautiful instrumentation, that seems to somehow fuse the folk music cultures of Asia and American Appalachia. Melody and lyric meld like time tested friends, and pull you towards the edge of tears before it's all over; an indicative trait of Thornton's vulnerable song-writing.

Lineage is Ian Randall Thornton's unreleased conceptual record about family and heritage. The album's striking cover, of Thornton's own grandfather fighting in World War II , immediately draws you into the vast beauty and weight of this stunning work. Honest poetic song writing pairs with breath taking musical production, that swings back and forth between timeless folk traditions and modern progressive post rock, to communicate the tension between honoring the past and embracing the future; both musically and lyrically.

See You Through
