Anna Elyse, in her latest single, “Old Western Film” aurally illustrates yourself struggling to balance yourself in the muddy waters of your past as you are dazzled by the refuge presented. Released on February 29, the folk-pop song has Elyse’s rich vocals and immersive music, creating a deeply touching experience that may land a place on your playlist and even your heart.
The song opens with a dreamy and relaxing melody, setting the stage for introspection and vulnerability. As thumping drums elevate the urgency of the narrative, Elyse’s vocals drip with a potent mix of emotion, passion, exhilaration, and fear.
Each line of “Old Western Film” is imbued with visual imagery as Elyse poetically explores the dichotomy of being pulled between past and present, unable to fully embrace the love or haven before her. The lyrics weave a tapestry of longing and hesitation, beautifully capturing the bittersweet and dubious way trauma manifests in our lives.
Elyse’s influences, from Neil Young to modern producers like No ID and Mike Dean, shine through in her masterful storytelling and contemporary sound. You would be surprised that Elyse has just debuted with “Trading Glances” and that it is already making waves in the folk-pop scene! With a background in Creative Writing and Audio Engineering, she knows the ins and outs and how to keep us attended and moved.
Listen to “Old Western Film,” one of the most moving and beautifully written songs by the talented singer, songwriter, and producer Anna Elyse!
