Hide Anymore

Wilder Woods

Wilder Woods, the moniker of singer/songwriter/guitarist Bear Rinehart of Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling group Needtobreathe, has announced the forthcoming release of his new album Curioso. Due out in early 2025 through Dualtone Records, Curioso takes a genre-bending approach to American music.

Rinehart says:

Happy to have the first couple of songs from Curioso out in the world. Both of these songs are really about the tension I think we all feel between the way we wish the world was and the way it actually is. Maybe it’s naïve to think that music can actually help with that, but it does for me. Love y’all.

The title for the new album comes from the youthful time that Rinehart spent at his grandmother’s house, captivated by her curio cabinet.

Here's a topic to start Tuesday

Waves

Dean Lewis

In a 2017 interview with Stack Magazine, Lewis explained the meaning of this song. According to him, he was very aware that people assume that the lyrics focus on relationships and that relationships are not what the song is about. He said the song is about the diminishing excitement of life. Lewis explained that the lyrics talk about how the excitement of life reduces as we age.

Since its release in 2016, "Waves" has appeared in several television series, most notably Riverdale. The chorus of "Waves" was sung by the song's co-composer, Nick Atkinson. This song received up to 5 ARIA nominations. Music Awards of 2017. He did not win in any of the categories in which he was nominated.

Just Cool

Obongjayar

His most recent works have analysed the state of society, both locally and internationally. A press release quotes him as saying, “Where’s our united humanity? Where is our united love for our brothers and sisters and children looking for safety and opportunity? Where is the love for our planet?” He asks in his 2023 song Just Cool, where the tranquillity is, and why power structures need to reinforce a system of violence on those searching out a better life. To “just let me cool”, seems to be a cry to let each to their own. In a world that is finding itself locked up, and increasingly hostile to migrants, the idea of being “Just Cool” helps one navigate the “Hyperbolic, Catastrophic…

Catatonic, S**t parade” that humanity is currently experiencing. As he says in a spoken word part of the song “There’s nothing new to celebrate. There’s nowhere left to run away. They’re closing off the open seas. They’re locking off the runways. They keep telling me the one thing. So far from everything I see. Your hands are covered in blood stains”

Narcissist

“Narcissist,” the cutting lyrics are introduced, “And I know you'll get over me / But can you get over yourself?” The song, which he co-wrote with Fanning, Ben Williams and Andy Sheridan, reached No. 4 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart and No. 15 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart in March, later peaking at No. 22. on the Hot Country Songs chart in June.

“I brought my journal into the writing room, and we were reading things I had written, and we were talking about a relationship I had had a few years ago. They helped me identify all these feelings I had. Honestly, writing it was something I needed to get off my chest, and something I needed to do for myself.

But releasing it was also for all the people who needed to get it off their chest. I didn't realize how alone I felt in that situation, but after posting it, I saw how many people relate to it. “It created this incredible community of people who felt safe in a space that I gave them.”
