Bright World Music

BEDROOM EYES

New Bright World single!

“This song is about the way we find and lose each other, how we forget and discover ourselves, and in the free fall eventually tumble our hearts to a mirror finish in the rapids of love. This song is about that shining moment in the eye of the storm, where it all comes rushing back crystalline amid the chaos, and there’s that rare feeling, a sensation that whispers ‘somehow the space between us will live forever’.”

I’m so excited to be releasing new Bright World music!!! This is the first track from my upcoming EP, in which I’m exploring a more lo-fi electro indie sound. It’s a privilege to get to experiment and I’d like to thank @cereusbright and the folks at Casa De Copas for supporting me on the journey. Thank you for listening!

Only Love, Only Love, Only Love.

TIME AFTER TIME

I’m thrilled to be releasing this cover of one of my favorite tunes ever by Cyndi Lauper . Stripped down, folk-ed up, and with my whole heart. It refers to a kind of love that I think we all know. It’s not easy, it’s never simple, especially in the middle of the night. And it hurts. It hurts when it expands us from the inside. But it’s worth showing up for, every time, because the real love leads us beyond ourselves and shows us who we can become. The overture, the reaching to each other, is really what sustains us. And through every lost and found, we’re all reaching in the same direction: Out.

Thank you to all the folks listening to Bright World, both from the beginning and starting today.

Here’s to the love that keeps us alive.

CLOUD PARADE FULL LENGTH ALBUM

Bright World’s first full-length studio album, ‘Cloud Parade’, is a rousing alt-folk odyssey, which follows an evocative lyrical thread through inspiration, introspection, and heartbreak, penned at various points around the world.

Lush organic instrumentation and driving beats power the first half of the record to soaring anthemic heights, while the back half offers a soothing and reflective reprieve couched by strings and stirring harmonies.

“I’m thrilled to share this record at last, we pressed hard through the pandemic to get it all finished. It contains all my hope, tears, rage, and ecstasy. It’s my sincere hope that people might resonate with these private thoughts and feel embraced by the music.” - Evan Williams

THE FUTURE BEGINS TODAY

The Future Begins Today is a gut reaction to the pressure of being a human on Earth in 2021. The track begins frantically scanning the radio dial then moves to a heart-thumping beat and a swaying melody, creating an anthem for hope.

"This song is a journey, rising from the depths of a global existential quagmire to the birds eye view, where humanity has the opportunity to recognize its power to work together to change course. To bring civilization back from the precipice. It is possible." - Evan Williams

MAKING OF VIDEO

CASSIOPIA

Cassiopeia is a bright eyed love song from a million miles away. A quick-picked ukulele and jubilant horns dance to a rolling beat that belies the plaintive vocals of a lover lost in the dark.

“This is a heartsick plea to a long-distance love that I knew was slipping away. Yet despite the gravity, it is love after all.. so there’s no reason it shouldn’t be a party."

GOD AWFUL GAME

God Awful Game is a song about keeping your eyes on the horizon. Acoustic guitars and low vocal range, this track has a "young Johnny Cash" vibe mixed with sweet crescendos and a soaring ending.

"Written on a day when I had that familiar paranoid feeling that the tide was turned against me. I’m asking myself some difficult questions here, about whether this paradigm is born within or without. If it's all a cruel game, it's not worth it. So what else could it be?"

I'M NOT ALONE

Produced during the height of the global pandemic in 2020, I’m Not Alone grew to become an anthem fit for the singular times we’re all living in together.

"It’s been a long year of isolation, this song represents a new chapter. We are more the same than we are different, and we all have a place here. Interdependence is the way forward and ‘I’m Not Alone’ is made to get our feet moving on the journey there."
