Lyrah captures her reality with the dreamy and nostalgic alt-pop single In the Leaves. Lyrah’s vocals and production, as well as the soft piano keys steadily progressing to an up-tempo dance beat, create an exquisitely crafted gem.
I’m waking in the leaves again
Under street signs, never needed more
Mapping out the turns I take
When I sleepwalk, why’s it feel like home?
Wistful lyrics flutter in and out on the dreamy soundscape creating airy harmonies that are hauntingly beguiling.
“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.” – Lyrah
In the Leaves is the third single from Lyrah’s forthcoming EP, following Hold Me and Sorry CVS.
