Loryn Taggart Shares New Single ‘Lighthouse’
Canadian Folk Music Award nominee Loryn Taggart shares her brand new single Lighthouse, a cinematic folk-pop ballad lifted from her forthcoming debut album.
I am a fan of her lush, enchanting vocals which are packed with raw, honest emotion and are beautifully paired with Joe Moralez's vocals, both creating lovely harmonies and effortlessly infusing the song with a memorable dose of emotion and soul. Written over Zoom in three different time zones, Lighthouse is a cinematic pop-ballad about losing yourself along the journey of life and trying your hardest to find hope in the everyday mundane things. It’s about trying to trust yourself, but failing. An honest, relatable storytelling backed by lush strings, delicate piano keys, subtle electronics, intricate percussive elements and rhythms that together create an overall heartwarming atmosphere perfect for an introspective day home alone.
Accompanying the single release today, Loryn has also released the official music video for Lighthouse. This animated video by Hello Adventure Animation Studios in Toronto depicts a metaphorical story of a young woman trying to find her way through life.
Speaking about the song, Loryn Taggart said,
The song is about what it’s like to be lost in the dark, to lose trust in yourself after everything life has thrown at you. I’ve always loved lighthouses as metaphors for the journey back to yourself. They’re literally a beacon of light that pierces the darkness and brings you home, and that’s what I felt I needed to write about.
