One Day We Will Walk Together ( ft Bysenses )

Music and lyrics by Haleh Liza 

'Settle In' is the entrancing new single by Brooklyn-based artist Haleh Liza featuring playful and moving lyrics, sparkling electric guitar lines, warm vocals, and a thumping bass drum.  There is an intimacy and a mystical quality to the song as if she's both whispering in the audience's ears and sending listeners comfortably floating through space.  

In late August of 2014, a couple of people from the Brooklyn-based company INDMusic invited Haleh Liza to perform a tune as part of their Great Outdoors Series with Daily Motion. While sitting around a campfire under the moon, they filmed her playing 'Settle In' and it seemed clear to everyone present that they had just heard a magical new song.  That very night she was offered a record deal with the boutique label Paper Garden Records and agreed the following week to release a series of singles that had been glowing in her pockets for years.  'Settle In' is the first of these luminous folk tunes.

When the moon sails down the black river of the sky
and docks one pier's length above your town
please don't resist

When the moon unfurls her staircase 
like the long, bleached tongue of a dragon
please go ahead and climb

Cause life wants to see you whole again
the rain wants to taste your skin
the sky wants to fill your eyes
stillness wants to touch your mind
so please don't resist

The moon will seep into your skin 
till you glow like her above the night
please let it be

Cause life wants to see you whole again
the rain wants to taste your skin
the sky wants to fill your eyes
stillness wants to know your mind
your body wants to feel at ease
your blood wants you to breathe
so please settle in

Would like to thank Sara Routh for a great review of my single "The Rain King" ...
Country music seems to embrace an ever revolving door of styles. Once hailed for its heartfelt stories of love, loss and tears in our beers, it has now leaned its favoritism in a country-pop direction. Pushing aside those aching slide guitar solos to make room for the perfect boot scootin’ boogie beat, we find ourselves at a cross-roads for the future of country music.

The continuously evolving Kete Bowers brings his perfectly, unpolished country sound to us from Liverpool. Described as the ‘Nashville of the North’ Liverpool has embraced its love for country western history and Bowers, aligns flawlessly with it’s lessons. His self produced record “Road” released in 2010, invited his listeners to a world of love and loss. With a sound compared to the late, great Johnny Cash, Bowers’ single, “Chained to You” paints the perfect picture for what happens when love meets that loss.

Close your eyes, and picture this. A lone cowboy on the prairie, astride his oldest friend, a horse of thirty-plus years. The only way he keeps awake under the burning sun is by listening to the constant cadence of his partner’s hooves.

With Bowers latest single produced by Fran Ashcroft, “The Rain King” he introduces us to his newest sound. Keeping with his honest country roots, his play with production, creates a kind of cross bred Zeppelin, Petty and Neil Young mix. He doubles the guitar melody throughout. A crisp acoustic line with a perfectly, not perfect electric sound. “The Rain King,” is sensational.

A story about Bowers’ youth, his simple lyrics, “kids dodging bullets on the high plain… with songs to sing and dreams to live” his newest song, leaves the listener wondering who the Rain King really is. Someone or something that may come save him from his past, present or future.

Kete Bowers continues to invent the “country wheel” for himself and his listeners. I trust “The Rain King” will find its way, to the soundtrack of some Quentin Tarantino flick. Maybe there we can find out who “The Rain King” really is.
