The Harmonious Journey of Music and Life
Nestled on a picturesque piece of land, we recently had the privilege of visiting the Williams brothers, Evan and Alec, who together form the band Raising Pastures. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we embarked on a journey into the heart of their music, their inspirations, and their plans for a debut studio album.
Singing Fields of Love:
Evan and Alec treated us to two enchanting songs. The first, "Fields of Love," is a poetic ballad that encapsulates the essence of settling down and homesteading, all while serving as a metaphor for life's journey. Evan shared how this song mirrors his experiences, as he transitioned from a life of constant travel to putting down roots. He beautifully connects the dots between the two, and as he sings about Fields of Love, we can't help but relate to the metaphorical landscapes we all navigate.
If I Wrote You a Song:
The second song, "If I Wrote You a Song," delves into Evan's struggles with writer's block. Music is his medium of communication with the world, and when he felt unable to express himself, this song emerged. It's a testament to the power of music to overcome obstacles and connect with people on a deeper level.
Life on the Road and Beyond:
Evan and Alec's lives have been marked by movement. They've roamed far and wide, collecting experiences that later find their way into their music. They don't just write about their own journeys but also the stories of the people they encounter. The common thread of shared human experiences is something they hold dear. Evan's realization that beneath the surface, our emotions are universal forms the core of their songwriting.
The Debut Album: "What Are You Growing?":
The most exciting part of our conversation was learning about Raising Pastures' debut album. Tentatively titled "What Are You Growing?" the album is a tapestry of emotions, experiences, and questions. It delves into the different things we choose to grow in our lives, whether it's food on a ranch, happiness, knowledge, or our experiences on the road. The album is a reflection of the myriad choices that shape our individual narratives.
What's Next?:
If you're eager to hear more from Raising Pastures, you're in luck. They have plans to release a series of singles from the album starting this spring. The album will follow once the singles have paved the way. While there's no fixed release date, they're eyeing the end of May for the first single. Keep an eye on their social media and website for updates.
Final Thoughts:
Raising Pastures is more than just a band; they're storytellers who use their music to weave tales of life, love, and the roads we all travel. With their debut album on the horizon, we can't help but be excited to join them on their journey. As they blend folk, rock, and new wave influences, they are poised to take us on an unforgettable musical voyage.
