James Wyatt Crosby - Is There a Reason? by Wavy Sun published on 2022-05-24T16:13:52Z TITLE: Is There a Reason? ARTIST NAME: James Wyatt Crosby FORMAT: Single RELEASE DATE: June 24, 2022 LABEL: Wavy Sun “Is There a Reason?” is the latest offering from James Wyatt Crosby and the second release on his Wavy Sun Records. This dreamy summertime track features infectiously catchy guitar lines, warm analog synth undercurrents, bouncing bass & loads of sonic easter eggs that can be unearthed with repeated listening. “Is There a Reason?” is simultaneously uplifting and dark as themes of desire, nostalgia and regret are explored by the song’s dreamy narrator. A song that is literally years in the making, it is a perfectly crafted piece of bedroom pop. “I started writing 'Is There a Reason?' in 2015 but somehow I didn’t finish it until recently. My newer songs feel like sad songs written by a sad guy whereas “Is There a Reason?” feels like a sad song written by a happy guy. It’s seven years old, but sometimes it’s nice to let a song ferment and develop and then revisit it with a new perspective later. This song has some really hooky parts and it’s one of my personal favourites from my unreleased catalog. It’s been fun to play it live and re-explore whoever I was when I wrote it back in 2015. To me it feels like a summer jam and I hope people love it as much as I do.” –James Wyatt Crosby LYRICS The devil’s got an appetite For all the people playing nice He wants to come and change your life And all you gotta do is sign Here And all the time and all the while There’s something underneath his smile Now that you’ve told a million lies I’ve got a question on my mind Is there a reason why you want it so bad? Is there a reason why you want it so bad? Now that you said it there’s no taking it back Now that you said it there’s no taking it back I miss the summer night I miss the summer night I tell myself a lie I tell myself a lie I eat myself alive I eat myself alive I pissed out all my fire It’s gonna be a while Is there a reason why you want it so bad? Is there a reason why you want it so bad? Now that you said it there’s no taking it back Now that you said it there’s no taking it back © & ℗ 2022 Wavy Sun https://jameswyattcrosby.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/08vqoIPzUKFbYWJLfwiz8a https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/james-wyatt-crosby/id1001263428 https://www.instagram.com/jameswyattcrosby/ https://www.facebook.com/jameswyattcrosbyy/ https://twitter.com/jameswcrosby Genre Indie
