Wood Burnt Red to release new single Simple Place – Jem Girl at the Piano
UK based four-piece country band Wood Burnt Red have announced the details of their stunning new single Simple Place which is a powerful reminder that as a society we are slipping and losing sight of what really matters; humans helping one another and loving thy neighbour.
The track features striking lyrics such as “what happened to it takes a village // the system is broken // nothing but violence // how are we supposed to raise our kids” It is a stark reminder of the darkness we are currently seeing around us but also serves as a gentle wake-up that we can build those soft places to land within our own communities and create loving atmospheres where we are planted.
It is a bold lyrical take and offers something completely fresh from Wood Burnt Red who have shown that they are not afraid to speak about the hard truths and harsh realities. They aren’t shying away from current world affairs and are instead boldly standing up for love and light. Country music is all about truth, and the Brit band are proving that this has not been lost.
Speaking about the song, Wood Burnt Red says:
“We don’t believe the meaning behind this song needs explaining, but we do believe it’s a song a lot of people need right now. We are extremely, and we mean extremely, proud of this song, as it’s something we poured every ounce of blood sweat and tears into and is something a bit different from the rest of our back catalogue. We would also like to give a very special mention to Tyler Spicer who was a huge part of the journey we took with this track. He really took it to new heights and gave us a track that instantly makes you create your own visuals too. We can’t wait to hear what you all think of this”
