ghost

ghost -acoustic

this song touches on themes of longing for rightness and working back to the feeling from precious moments of joy. "wild woods" discusses ways in which these sentiments can exist in nature, through the moon longing to experience the sun after an eclipse or a stream weaving its way back to the sea.

wild woods

the lyrics in "the cold" grapple with reckoning the ending of a dear relationship and the difficulty of navigating the changing of a season. this song contains some of lighthearted's most inventive production features yet, including muffled drums, vocal distortion, mandolin, and q-tron envelope filtered guitar. these elements are balanced by the grounding piano, acoustic guitar riff, and drum groove. 

"the cold" is the third single off of lighthearted's debut album that will be released in spring of 2023.

And Your Dreams Come True

we’ll never need anyone else (voice memo)

lighthearted  is a dynamic indie-folk band from Athens, Georgia, fronted by identical twin sisters Gracie Huffman & Eliza Lemmon. Formed in 2019, the band draws from the deep wells of folk traditions and contemporary indie influences. They write the type of hushed, kaleidoscopic songs that appeal to anyone that takes to gorgeous harmonies and plumbing the depths of human nature (Ethan Fogus, Immersive Atlanta).
