Song: “The Colder Months”
The artist: Liza Anne
Who’s That?: A young, Nashville-based singer-songwriter who is preparing to release her debut album.
Fun fact: Liza is currently studying songwriting at Belmont University.
Sounds like: A rustic, haunting progressive folk ballad that you need to hear at least once.
Songwriter says: “I think that the winter tells us something about our souls. It’s the simplicity of brisk mornings and holidays that remind us how we pine for a person to love. This song battles the longing for someone you genuinely care for against the selfish desire we all have for someone to hold. For me, The Colder Months is an effort to be gently honest in my uncertainty. I’m young and love is a very weighty word – it’s a heaviness I haven’t quite learned to carry selflessly. My hope is for you and this song to spend wintery drives together. I hope that it inspires you to ponder, feel and listen in every sense of these words.”
