South Carolina-based singer-songwriter Brooke Ashton releases her new single, “Someone.” Inspired by losing a dear friend, the song exhorts others to live in the moment and love without restraint.
Ashton shares, “If I’ve ever written a song that had the potential to ‘change the world,’ this would be it. I got goosebumps when writing this song, and I get chills every time I listen to it. This song was divinely inspired, and I am honored to have received it.”
With heartfelt lyrics and a powerful melody, “Someone” serves as a reminder of the importance of living in the present and showing compassion to others. The song captures the essence of the human condition, underlining the universal need for connection and understanding.
“All of the musicians who collaborated on this song donated their time and expertise in loving memory of a mutual friend. Their collective efforts have resulted in a touching tribute to the beauty and fragility of life,” explains Ashton.
“Someone” opens on a softly strummed acoustic guitar flowing into a lush, gentle melody featuring a graceful piano and evocative strings. Merging elements of folk and Americana, the tune drips with profound emotional tones, tender and melodic. Ashton’s deliciously twangy voice imbues the lyrics with compassion over the jewel-toned opulence of the harmonics.
“Someone, we all need someone / Someone is writing a song / Hoping ears will hear and hearts will heal / Long after they are gone / We are here for a short while / Doing our best through the tears with a smile / We’re all someone / We all need someone.”
Poignantly exquisite and oh-so perceptive “Someone” reaches out and touches the central point of the human condition.
