Such is the case in “Greenfield,” the lead single from Out of the Sea, the forthcoming debut album from sideman/producer turned singer-songwriter, Graham Norwood. Out of the Sea is set for release in January 2020.
“This one’s about that feeling when you realize you can’t be or provide everything that a partner in a relationship wants from you,” he explains. “When that feeling comes along, the only emotionally honest path is to move on; but it’s often far from an easy choice to do so.”
Awash in soaring strings and folk-centric melancholy, Norwood evokes the likes of Elliot Smith and Sufjan Stevens with double-tracked vocals and acoustic fingerpicking. “Why start again when we both know the end?” he sings. And we all know that feeling, don’t we? That heartwrenching gut-punch of reality when we know there’s nothing that can be done to fix a situation. Here, Norwood delivers it rimmed with beauty, and we just know things are going to be okay.
