Songs of the Week: January 10 - 16, 2022
“Truth Be Told” by Skye Wallace
As excited as I was for new music from Skye Wallace, I was equally excited to see it was her first release signed to Six Shooter Records, since that is an excellent artist/label pairing!
Her new single, “Truth Be Told”, is a slow-burner about change and trying to reconcile that within yourself. Or as Wallace puts it, it’s about “all the versions of yourself you try on, all the mistakes you make, all the imperfections of finding yourself, and how impatient and downright mean you can be towards yourself along the way. For me, the song has come to represent how I grew into myself after moving around a lot my whole life, not being “from” anywhere, not always feeling a sense of belonging, and the long, long journey it took to love who I am and to be softer with myself.”
Co-written by Charlie Kerr from Hotel Mira, hopefully the song is just a tease of more to come this year!

“Get Out Of The Game” by Sam Weber
Sam Weber’s latest single “Get Out Of The Game” is about something that a lot of people probably faced during the pandemic: career doubt.
It deals with quitting your passion job, trying something new, but ultimately returning to your job with new eyes.
Sam’s next album Get Free comes out on February 5th and if all goes well, he’s heading state side to tour for February and March.

“Take Me Home” by Shred Kelly
Last week Shred Kelly released a very cute video for the unplugged version of their song “Take Me Home”.
It features lyrics on various pieces of luggage and signs on the front porch of Tim and Sage’s home and various band member drop-by’s.
Made me want to go hang out on their porch in Fernie. Give it a watch below!
