WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:
This week our attention is on Lyrah’s brand new single “In The Leaves”. Showcasing a soothing, piano driven pop song infused with warm undertones, bouncy kick drums, and led by a beautiful, heartfelt lyrical experience. “In The Leaves” is one of those rare gems that’ll make you experience both heartache and joy simultaneously. A yearning for more and less out of life.
I wrote this song about a dream I had before I decided to quit my stable, full-time job.
In the dream I kept waking up outside, like on the sidewalk in San Francisco and in the leaves by a road. I kept choosing that over my bed or car, and it felt surprisingly calm when I’d wake up outside of my home.
I had a session with Benji of Slenderbodies and we talked about this dream and how it seemed to mirror my life choice of staying in the comfort of a full time job or leaving and being satisfied with less.
I quit the job and I kept the song.
