Waiting For Smith embraces true authenticity in latest single ‘Raised Up’ ahead of forthcoming album
Indie Folk/Pop sensation Waiting For Smith continues his spiritual journey with the release of his latest single, ‘Raised Up,’ set to feature on his forthcoming album.
In ‘Raised Up,’ Waiting For Smith encourages listeners to push aside their distractions and worries to embrace true authenticity. Produced by Danton Supple (Coldplay, Elbow, Patti Smith), the track offers a moment of realignment amidst the chaos of everyday life.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the single, Waiting For Smith shares:
“‘Raised Up’ is a ceremonial song, an ancient idea of gathering together round a fire to eat, laugh, rejoice, and share medicine. It’s a song that connects the listener to the idea of an alternative reality. A more conscious life, where we ‘Raise Up’ to our greatest potential, free of the ego, our limitations for even a just moment we realise that we allow our stories to define who we are and what we become. But we always have a choice to make. Do we decide to stay stuck in our unhappiness, choosing to distract our minds continuously with sugars & social media or we commit a more conscious moment, to make a firm decision to become who we truly are: free, light, joyous beings, doing what we love, living with our open hearts full of kindness. Where we feel a connection to all living things. I believe we don’t need to be unhappy. We can find our joy – but we must decide to do it.”
‘Raised Up’ is out now on all streaming services. His forthcoming LP is imminent.
