winterspring 05:02
once there was a meadow, I found it all in green I strayed far from the path and entered winterspring no rules or roads to follow I walked across the stream it froze and as I passed i found my winterspring oooh though I'm but a shadow the past a golden dream, I fell, I fell so fast and entered winter sleep comes a reverie not far from my own sleep comes so bittersweet, it leads me far from home in march, the wind runs though my soul he takes all that I am and though I fight, he'll never let it go but you must never give into him, no once there was a meadow, I found it all in green I strayed far from the path and entered winterspring no rules or roads to follow I walked across the stream it froze and as I passed i found my winterspring

sleep softly, my darling I'll stay awake 'til you float back to me 'til you fall back to me breathe darling, it's over find your solitude in your dreams I'll meet you in your dreams falling softly out of reach, your holy slumber causes grief I saw you sleeping but I was dreaming with true love showers did you weep, I pray you love, remember me with rue and violets you make your end wake darling, I'm waiting sing sweet as the birds oh, I long for your voice how I still hear your voice quiet now, they're calling tune haunting my mind I will bend to decay as you float on your way yes, I'm falling yes, I'm falling

about

The culmination of four years of writing and vulnerable self-examination, Winterspring weaves a narrative of hope inspired by famous storytelling and personal anecdotes. The title is a term that was created accidentally during a free write session in vocalist Allison Wheeler’s college bedroom, and she has since then been unpacking its parallels in her life. Winterspring tells a classic tale of opposing forces working together towards growth — What was intended solely as an outlet for personal expression evolved into an exploration and understanding of the human condition.

Jazz-like in structure, the album weaves tales of love, light and loneliness into a unique blend of styles driven by sweeping vocals and colorful accompaniment. The album is a glimpse into Wheeler’s inner world, brought beautifully to life with the help of her band — Daniel Bulatkin (piano/keyboards), Max Makagonov (double bass), Petr Nohavica (drum set) and guests David Dorůžka (guitar) and Luboš Soukop (soprano & clarinet). In order to both find peace in the midst of inner struggle and to guide others to do the same, Winterspring is a message of hope and growth in the midst of darkness.
