[EXCLUSIVE] Letter to Memphis Debuts “Stay for the Season”
August 25, 2014
Letter to Memphis releases their debut album, Phases, tomorrow at the beautiful Sheldon Concert Hall in Grand Center. To celebrate, the band has released to IWTAS readers a track from the forthcoming record.
“We’re releasing the song ‘Stay for the Season’ to IWTAS for a couple reasons,” says lead singer of LTM Devon Cahill. “This one is one of our older songs, and it feels good to finally have a great recording of it. We also wanted something out there that was in contrast with our single ‘Rest Your Head’ we released earlier this year. This song showcases the darker side of Letter to Memphis.”
“Thematically, ‘Stay for the Season’ kind of set the tone for the rest of the songwriting on Phases,” explains Gene Starks, LTM’s multi-instrumentalist and co-songwriter. “The track explores the phases within a relationship, and focuses on the cycle of failures one goes through and the struggle to hang on through them. Early on, it’s easier to convince your partner that you’ll change, but as the relationship gets into the autumn of its life, it becomes obvious that the only things that actually change are the seasons.”
Tickets are still available to tomorrow’s album release show at The Sheldon, where LTM will play with their talented friends in Arthur and the Librarian.
