A singer-songwriter ballad about love and addiction, "Easier" is the eighth single from Northern Colorado's Sean Waters and the Sunrise Genius.

Written by Sean Waters, the song's lyrics celebrate the power we have to make each other's lives easier. Together, Waters sings, it's easier to overcome the power of our unhealthy temptations. The single art shows Waters coming down from a ledge.

The protagonist of the story remembers "days of wine" with photographs "getting swept in the river tide" ... and the chorus brings them to picking up the one they love.

"Growing deaf to my temptations / Easier with you by my side."

With a easy-listening feel, the single is reminiscent of "Flexibility Blues" and "Easy Graces" the popular songs that Waters recorded in Los Angeles in 2020.



ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Waters debut Easy Graces charted on Hype Machine's Latest, with bloggers praising the production as “grounded, poetic, and striking” (Two Story Melody), “ruminative Colorado Americana” (Indie is not a Genre).

A "skillful, entertaining, and soulful performer" (the Coloradoan), Waters has played more than 1000 shows over 18 years in the Northern Colorado Front Range. His master of arts degree in philosophy and religious studies (2008) focused on comparative approaches to well-being.

A nominated master teacher, entrepreneur, and father, he still teaches at Colorado State University and still treats listening and making music as a sacred act of regeneration, where every day is new, and everyone's a genius.

Easier

Wait up, hold on
Calling back to earth
My rocket was towed away
It’s pretty cold out here in space

Wake up, got no feeling in my head
I wish that I’d stayed awake
I wouldn’t be left here instead

Hoping there’s still somebody
Out there who still might copy me
But I got nothing - just static
Feels so lonely as I float away

And all I see is stars
They always seemed so far away
But now appear so large
I never saw ‘cause I was in the way

Could this be a brand new minute?
Could this be a brand new minute for me?
Could this be a brand new minute?
All this magic right in front of me
Could this be a brand new minute?
Could this be a brand new minute?
I see a whole world and I’m right in it
All a sudden, where I’m meant to be

Who goes there? Where are they?
Who knows just how far they
have travelled the star way
If only they saw me….
 
Home never seemed so far
Was hoping to see it in another way
But oh man the scene is so dark
The further I go floating away

And all I see is stars
So many sparkles far away
But now what seems so large - 
I never saw ‘cause I was in the way 

Could this be a brand new minute?
Could this be a brand new minute for me?
Could this be a brand new minute?
All this magic right in front of me
Could this be a brand new minute?
Could this be a brand new minute?
I see a whole world and I’m right in it
All a sudden, where I’m meant to be

Brand New Minute
