Singer/songwriter Tyler Ramsey has released the deluxe edition of his fifth studio album New Lost Ages (Soundly Music).  The Deluxe Edition features two previously unreleased B-sides: “Song Out Of My Head,” which was released earlier this fall and “Paper Hearts.” “Paper Hearts” reflects on a trip to New York City taken after the loss of a friend. 

He explains:

“Paper hearts” is a photograph of a trip I took up to New York City a long time ago after the loss of a friend. This song went through a lot of changes and I am so happy with this final version- Scott Moore’s string arrangements are breathtaking and Carl Broemel added some beautiful pedal steel.  Was a dream to work with Phil Ek and when I listen to this song it takes me back to our time at Avast Recording Studio in Seattle and reminds me what a special record we made together.

Living in Asheville, North Carolina, Tyler has also been reflecting deeply on the recent devastation brought by Hurricane Helene.

He shares:

Taken out of context and placed only on an individual scale the destruction from Hurricane Helene here at my home was intense and shocking. Placed back into the context of my region and city, and my community and family and friends, and what devastation people have experienced, my family & I got off incredibly easy. Our surrounding area has taken a hit that I never dreamt was possible. This storm has made it once again clear to me that as a society we can somehow remove ourselves from the devastation and despair and suffering that may be happening just a couple of states over or even streets over or somewhere across the world. We somehow forget that it could always be us. Maybe it’s a safety mechanism. But to see the way people show up for each other when we are all in it together- there is such beauty in that- and hope. Thank you to everyone that is out trying to help people. Thank you to my friends and neighbors that have helped us.
