There is the striking of a perfect balance between authenticity and doing your damndest to create something beautiful. When the pieces of that fall into place, its a beautiful thing. Something that can melt your heart and make your foot stomp. A light twang that dances back and forth with lilting highs. Liv Greene’s “New York’s Arms” dances that line in eloquent magnetism. Give it a listen.

What About It: “I wrote ‘New York’s Arms’ about change. I was meditating on the cliche of people moving to a new places for new beginnings, and how it’s only a cliche because of how frequently it happens- especially in New York. Physically moving is a powerful thing- the more space we give ourselves in difficult times, the more we stay open despite the hurt. This song is about embracing that wide-openness.”
