Morning Bear Shares New Single ‘Splitting of the Wood’

Morning Bear, the brainchild of Denver-based singer/songwriter John Runnels, returns after a long hiatus with his brand new single Splitting of the Wood, a warm and intimate piece of orchestral indie-folk music. 

 

Produced by Mark Anderson, Splitting of the Wood explores themes of sacrifice and grueling work in the face of uncertainty, a true testament to the power of human resilience. It guides listeners through struggles with self-doubt and the fear of failure, encouraging us to persevere through adversity. As soon as I heard those lush, acoustic guitar riffs I knew I was going to love this song and I was not mistaken. John's vocals are super smooth yet packed with raw emotion and vulnerability that instantly draws our attention to his relatable storytelling. Apart from his gorgeous vocals, echoing harmonies and intricate guitars, I am particularly fond of the killer beat throughout the song, subtle horn touches and rhythms that together create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere perfect for a reflective day home alone.
