SLEEPWALKING- Heather Carpenter

This song is a story and a half. Based off the artists own past long-term, long distance relationship. 

Heather Carpenter is a Floridian Indie Rock singer based in Nashville Tennesse. She is also a record promoter for Capitol CMG Radio and was with Universal Music Group Nashville 
In a Instagram post about this song, Carpenter, 25, states 'I wrote this song about the depressing period after saying goodbye while in a long distance relationship. The sadness I felt was so intense, I became obsessed with lucid dreaming so I could manipulate m dreams to dance with my distant lover in my sleep. Not educated on the serious risks and spiritual damage that can place from doing so (this was before I became a Christian), I started sleepwalking and having nightmares of feathered black figures pouring gasoline. However the nightmares didn't make me stop, because it felt like I was just sleepwalking through life at the time anyway. I felt insane. But I had no other option.

@myleserlick helped me bring this song to life with the exact production I imagined. And it sounds so dang good on your headphones because of @frank_at_fuselagemastering. Oh, and that guitar solo at the end? None other than @maxfosterllc & Myles working some wizardry. 

This is quite literally the most insane shoot concept I've ever done. 2 gallons of apple juice and 200 mosiquto bites later, we nailed the vision I had for this song. Thank you so much to @maxfosterllc  for letting us use your sick backyard and @_johncole_ and @myleserlick for absolutely killing the visuals on this. 

A lot has changed in my life since I wrote this song years ago,  but I had a overwhelming amount of you tell me to put it out when I've played it live. I hope it connects with even one of you, and if you're going through loss, and feel like you're missing half your soul- do not neglect your relationship with God. Trust his plan. It all works out in the end.' 

This is only Carpenters second release but it for sure has left me wanting more. Jer voice is just low key addicive to listen to.

I've never experienced a relationship but this song has prepped me for one day if I do and we are long distance. My two closest friends and I are long distance so I do vibe the song via this side.

See You Around- Myles Erlick

Has a song ever caused you so much laughter out and about? That's what this song as done for me. Myles Erlick is a Canadian Country Singer who resides in Nashville Tennesse. He is a actor and ex professional dancer too. He also owns his own sound engineering company 'Sound By Erlick'  This song is about a girl he met in Nashville (According to a TikTok promotion video) it is essentially the tale of when they met. The part that gives me so much laughter is in the first verse where it says ' A Red Mercedes packed full of ladies' and thos line, although it seems innocent and not laughter inducing, makes me laugh because ever since this track dropped I keep seeing these very cars around me. One day I saw around 9 of them! Ok yes, maybe some were the same one and went in a different direction and came back by me but why'd someone pay attention to the licence plates.  My favourite part of this song is the spoken 'try and stay awake for this'.

Disappear-Mylie Taylor

Ever wanted to disappear into the night and never be seen again? If you said yes then this song is wrote for you.  Mylie Taylor is a Canadian Indie Rock artist residing in LA. Lyrics hailing straight from personal experience. Mylie is a fantastic artist many people can relate to.  (Pic courtesy of @wotes.extraz on Instagram) Lyrics such as 'I'm crushed to dust  I can't get up  Lifе hit me  Like a semi-truck' portray exactly how Taylor felt when she lost her dad just FOUR days after her 16th birthday. She had a insanely close bond to her dad and he passed so suddenly (he was a public figure from a band so news articles state it was a natural cause)  Taylor calls all her fans her besties and the fandom really feels like a family. Especially in the Discord community  ( hi to all readers from there 💙) I guarantee that if you join you will get welcomed right into the ever growing family.  Taylor pushes through life using her music to ge...
