“Open Wide” is a cinematic meditation on the quiet cost of chasing the "dream life". Havilah Tower traces the internal reckoning of an empathetic soul who achieves everything they thought they wanted—only to discover that the deepest fulfillment was always nearby, just unseen. In a world oversaturated with noise and ambition, the song unfolds like a confession: intimate, unflinching, and ultimately redemptive. With haunting vocal clarity and lyrical precision, Havilah Tower explores the tension between longing and presence, offering a soundscape that is both vulnerable and defiantly real. “Open Wide” doesn’t just ask what we want—it asks what we’re finally willing to see.

Sagebrush & The Little Flowers – Wild One’s West

Wild One’s West is the newest Indie Country anthem from Sagebrush & The Little Flowers, delivering a heartfelt tribute to Northern Arizona’s high desert, sacred lands, and powerful rural spirit. Blending acoustic roots, folk storytelling, and a deep sense of place, this track honors the vast beauty of the Southwest—from the mountain pines of Flagstaff to the Navajo, Hopi, and Havasupai reservations that stretch across the land.

Written and produced by Bear Cole (1st Drop Music), this release highlights the strength of the region’s Native American and Hispanic communities while reminding us that country music lives in the West too. More than a song, Wild One’s West is a call for unity, resilience, and recognition—offering support to the MMIW movement and raising awareness for #NoMoreStolenSisters.

Acoustic guitars, banjos, mandolins, and mountain soul. This is country from the Southwest. This is Wild One’s West.

SOMETHING ABOUT YOU

[Verse 1]
I don’t know what it is about you
But the second you’re around, I notice
Everything else just kind of fades out
And I’m tuned in
Like you’re the only station
You don’t say much
And you don’t need to
But somehow
I still hear you loud and clear

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not just that you’re good-looking
Or that you’re nice to people
It’s more like… I feel seen
Like you get me, even when I don’t get myself

[Chorus]
There’s just something about you
Can’t put my finger on it
But when you’re here
Everything feels easier
Like the air’s lighter
Like maybe life’s not so hard after all
I don’t know how to explain it
But there’s definitely 
Something about you

[Verse 2]
You ask questions nobody else asks
The kind that make me stop and think
And you actually wait for the answer
You’re not in a rush — that’s rare
You laugh at my dumb jokes
And somehow make me feel like I matter

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not just comfort
It’s not just chemistry
It’s more like… peace
Like I can finally take the mask off

[Chorus]
There’s just something about you
Can’t put my finger on it
But when you’re here
Everything feels easier
Like the air’s lighter
Like maybe life’s not so hard after all
I don’t know how to explain it
But there’s definitely 
Something about you

[Bridge]
I’ve met a lot of people
But no one’s ever made me feel like this
Like I could actually be myself
And not worry about being too much
Or not enough

[Chorus]
There’s just something about you
Can’t put my finger on it
But when you’re here
Everything feels easier
Like the air’s lighter
Like maybe life’s not so hard after all
I don’t know how to explain it
But there’s definitely 
Something about you

[Outro]
Yeah…
There’s something about you
And I hope you know it

The Foo

Cowboy Living

A little social media
Nothing could be easier
Blowing words on a tablet
Feeding trolls and their habits

Come on now, is it real?
A billion people gonna say
How they really feel?

I keep my socials on my phone in a drawer
But I'm thinking of throwing it out
I don't believe it's the best of me
Just my brain going off at the mouth
Oh throw
Throwing it out

I post myself meditating
Then I doom scroll news, and the hating
On my feed, I say love and light
But is that real or just polite

I keep my socials on my phone in a drawer
But I'm thinking of throwing it out
I don't believe it's the best of me
Just my brain going off at the mouth
Oh throw
Throwing it out

Can I be a real girl
Living in a fake world
How can I know the direction
Is that true north or just my perception

I keep my socials on my phone in a drawer
But I'm thinking of throwing it out
I don't believe it's the best of me
Just my brain going off at the mouth
Oh throw
Throwing it out
Oh throw
Throwing it out

THROWING IT OUT

Her pockets were sitting on empty
Not two pennies, busted, flat
She didn't even know where her car was at

She left him when he hit, split her lip
She hurried on the back road
But she didn't know which way to go

By looking at the sun
She knew this day was almost done
She just sat down and let the night come

Then along came Harry
With his wife and five kids
He smiled like the devil and said,
"Guess what I did?
I bought an old piano
And it rocks like the Lord
I had to sell the tractor
But I got me some chords"
Yeah, oh yeah

Now Harry was a friend she'd known
Almost all her life
He was an honest, good person, and so was his wife

Harry said, "Ain't you got good luck, girl
It's good to see you again”
He didn't say a word about her lip, so she climbed in

Looking at the moon
She wondered if her life was ruined
Could it really go down the tubes so soon

Along came Harry
With his wife and five kids
And they found the old piano
Sitting there in the shed
Harry said, "Sit down and play it
I know you can
There's a couple missing keys on it
But the Lord will understand"
Yeah

Well, she just about went under
From the kindness and the thought    
That piano brought a hunger
For a while she couldn't talk
All her failings, her mistakes
Were like songs she couldn't play
But she sat down, touched the keys
And amazingly, she prayed

Thank God for Harry
His wife and five kids
They were the cavalry
They lifted up the lid
And that busted old piano
Held more than broken sound
And somewhere in the playing
She felt her life turn around
Along came Harry
Along came Harry

You never know
You never know
Where the help will come from
Could be a man in his truck
and the setting sun
Might look like a mess
Or a traveling prayer
With five noisy kids
And wild wind in their hair
Thank God for Harry

ALONG CAME HARRY

A fun little romantic country ballad (: Bonfire vibes.
Lyrics: 
He came down in a blaze, a comet’s glow,
Silver suit shining, like a star’s afterglow.
He stumbled on boots and a hat in the hay,
In Georgia’s fields, he turned night into day.

His words were like stardust, raw, sincere,
A voice that could calm every earthly fear.
With a lasso of light, he roped my heart tight,
A space cowboy in silver, under moonlight.

Oh, space cowboy, from the cosmos above,
Riding starlight trails, bringing down love.
In your shiny silver suit and a story untold,
You’re a tale from the stars, a dream to hold.

He spoke of galaxies, far and wide,
But his hand in mine, two hearts collide.
His laugh was a melody, sweet and strong,
Far away from the stars, we found our song.

Supernovas burst as we dance by the fire,
Beneath Georgia pines, you set my soul higher.
No spaceship could carry the weight of this spark,
A love written in stars, ignited in the dark.

Oh, space cowboy, from the cosmos above,
Riding starlight trails, bringing down love.
In your shiny silver suit and a story untold,
You’re a tale from the stars, a dream to hold.

Lyrics and creative direction: Adriana Lazcano
