BEN NOBLE TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE "BENEATH YOUR WINGS" ON NOVEMBER 22, 2019
​
Written in the midst of an unrelenting winter, "Beneath Your Wings" is steeped in imagery featuring winter winds and a place of longing for spring to come. Noble's own inner-winter was brought about as he began seeing a professional counselor to face demons that had plagued him his whole life. "Beneath Your Wings" came to be as Noble processed two significant moments in succession: the loss of a pregnancy followed immediately by a new pregnancy resulting in a healthy baby boy. How does one celebrate a new life while mourning one lost? Inspired by Melvin Dixon's Heartbeats, "Beneath Your Wings" plays with simple word pairings; a stutter-stop way of relaying a narrative that journeys from grieving to acceptance.
This journey is reflected musically by beginning simply and delicately, with light piano and tender, ethereal vocals. A feeling of renewal is ushered in halfway through as the out-of-time piano part yields to a building drum groove into an eventual burst of sound. It is the third single from his forthcoming record. The LP is on track to debut in February 2020.
Lyrics:
Knee-drop, please stop, wait
Flutter, quiver, heartbeat swept away
Ping-pong, ping-pong, pain
Brute earth, fluke birth truer, truer weighs
​
I cry
Bluebird, new dirt, wait
Bitter, withered heartbeat somewhere faint
Ping-pong, ping-pong, pain
Bloom first, bluebird, broken by the blade
​
You cry
Keep me somewhere safe
Worry, wander, truer, truer weighs
Breath, my heart's forever beat outside my chest
I see you in the heather there
Death, forever weaved, what hasn't happened yet
​
I see you there
I see you
​
Keep me in the shade beneath
