Tai Shan – Wishing You Were Here

Tai Shan releases her brand new single, ‘Wishing You Were Here’

Tai Shan is a singer-songwriter who’s hard to pin down to a single musical genre – her stories want to expand out of a folk or rock constraint in order to pull in soulful elements and a tap-tapping of jazz flecks. It’s a rounded sound. ‘Wishing You Were Here‘ comes from her new album ‘Travelling Show‘ which will be released on April 3rd.

‘Wishing You Were Here‘ premiered by Americana Uk is a love song, which sits somewhere between break-up and “why won’t that damn man just come home?“, although Tai Shan knows the reasons well enough: “I know you’ve got you own path to take” but freely admits “I keep wishing you were here“. Its key phrase is “The only reason we do anything is out of love or out of fear” as Tai Shan explains “a few months after my husband and I were married, we hit an impasse. At the time, a friend sat me down and told me, “The only reason we do anything is out of love or out of fear.” I clung to that statement and soon found out how much pressure and fear my husband was under. During those dark days, I sat down and wrote this song. It was a way to process the pain. You have to work for every relationship you value and I have learned its okay to fail so you can find what will work for both of you. ”
