Singer-songwriter and producer Shye has released a new single “without you”, a bittersweet coming-of-age song about the realization that letting go, though difficult, is often the right choice.
Shye shares, “The song was inspired by a question I had never been asked before by someone completely unexpected – ‘Why didn’t it work? Would you go back and give it another try?’ It was the first time in long time that I was put in a position to rethink a past experience. My answer was no, because I felt that everything that happened, happened for a reason and I’m still happy with the decision I made.”
“The song, though centered on leaving someone, is meant to still uplift and have a sense of excitement towards the future without them. Sometimes being able to continue to love something even though there were past negative associations to it, is a way to heal from the hurt as well. It’s not easy but I think it’s a healthy way to allow yourself to fully heal, taking back the power is the highest form of self love. I hope my listeners can relate to the lyrics and maybe find the strength to move on from whatever they are going through and look forward to better times.”
