Texas-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter and classically trained musician, Jane Ellen Bryant’s new cut, “Here We Are,” is a beautiful work inspired by a natural tragedy.
“I was inspired to write this song after the Haiti earthquake a few years back. Horrible natural disasters like that remind us of how little control we have over our lives. We can never understand why bad things happen to good people, but we can make the most of the here and now and remember what’s most important in life.†Jane Ellen Bryant says of the single
Drums shuffle like an open road. A dobro stretches and bends around Bryant’s soulful, expressive voice as she contemplates mortality within her poetry.
“Here we are
Loving like it’s one of our chores
Here we are
Closing every open door”
“Here We Are†is a follow up track to her sophomore album Hourglass.
