Acclaimed singer-songwriter (and TRR favorite) WRABEL drops the title song from his upcoming full-length album, up above.
The ethereal, slow-building song dissolves in and out of form, exploring “the balance between existential meaning and beauty, and existential dread and impending doom.”
“If you knew the world was ending tomorrow, how much more would the person you love matter today?” asks WRABEL.
“The song really contextualized the album as it was when Drew Pearson and I wrote it, and opened my mind and heart up to the endless layers of our existence,” shares the artist.
“How we find meaning… what matters… who matters… looking for the light in the dark. Diving into the bittersweetness of our life, existence, and all that comes with it.”
The album also features “future,” the luminous first single released earlier this summer. With its message of looking forward and finding hope beyond past heartbreak, it set the thematic and sonic foundation for up above.
I always lean in when listening to new music from WRABEL.
