I’ll tell you anyway!” That sentiment is clear on “Let Love Reign,” the latest release from the album, where Robertson talks about remaining optimistic in an age of paranoia and fear. “Woke up in a cold sweat,” Rob- ertson sings over a swampy shuffle, “was that thunder that I heard, or bombs dropping from a jet?” He ulti- mately pushes these thoughts aside for a hopeful chorus, where he’s joined by Irish balladeer Glen Hansard. In a statement, Robertson says the message of “Let Love Reign” was inspired by John Lennon. “Some people think John Lennon’s dream about love and togetherness went up in flames,” said Robertson. “I think that’s wrong. It’s everlasting. There was something a little naive about John Lennon going around singing about peace, but in that period young people celebrating love and peace helped end a war.” The song’s snaky groove was inspired by the sounds of some of Robertson’s other heroes: “I thought of Dale Hawkins and ‘Susie Q,’ just as far as a groove and guitar riff,” he said, “like James Burton or Roy Buchanan. That song has cobwebs all over it.” Robertson teams up with other friends on Sinematic, including Van Morrison and Citizen Cope. He also scored Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film The Irishman, out later this year.” - Rolling Stone, 8/15/19 Grace Potter shares the story of “Love Is Love” on social media “On my new album, the word “daylight” represents finding clarity, finally seeing light at the end of a long dark night. The past four years, since the release of my previous record, Midnight, has been a time of tectonic life changes, the un- raveling of my past, the finding of new love, and rediscovering my true self at the center of a chaotic storm. A storm that is the duality of experiencing the greatest love I have ever felt, and the deepest pain I have ever endured, all at the same time. This album is about that journey. Starting the recording of Daylight was difficult because I had fallen out of love with music. There was so much hurt connected to my musical past that I didn’t know how to embark a new musical future. I couldn’t help thinking people I cared about would get hurt again. It took time to heal and finally begin the process of getting out in the open air the feelings I was carrying inside. I needed to get them out in the daylight so I could see them and understand them for what they are. Writing songs has always been a powerful and cathartic way for me to express and process how I feel. The process of making this record was totally different than any other I’ve ever done. I wasn’t writing or making music because a record company was waiting for it. I started making music again because there were things I needed to say and feel. Songs were written when they asked to be, instead of forcing them out. I was able to let music become an organic part of just living and being. If I picked up a guitar and started strumming, it was because I wanted to. When I finally felt ready to form all of my feelings and ideas into an album, I started collaborating with other writers because sometimes it is easier for others to see a song in your life story than you can. We started demoing songs at home and experimenting with different directions to see where my voice resonated the best. The production of this record was all about finding what fits with my voice, instead of seeing what I could fit my voice into. It is, in some ways, a return to the creative comfort of the naive teenage beginnings when I was first discovering my voice. I rebuilt everything from the ground up, with only the need to serve whatever feels right for my voice, my heart, and my soul. We decided to track all the final recordings live because over the course of making the demos, we noticed that I tend to hold something back in the studio. For these songs especially, we needed to capture the honesty of my stage performances. It’s easier for me to really let go and feel the music when I’m onstage, so we created a live show setting in the studio. These performances are as honest and raw as the lyrics in the songs. These recordings are captured moments instead of constructed puzzles. As personal as these songs are, I hope people will find meaning in them that speaks to their lives, their hurt, their joy, and everything it is to be human. - Grace” (posted to Facebook and Instagram on 8/26/19) Coming in September: Criminal Hygiene, Chadwick Stokes and much more RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 8/28/2019
