A contemporary and revolutionary self-love, heartland rock anthem that beams with joyful noise and boasts confidence, the “Take Me To The Water” storyline lends a refreshing perspective on a relationship that encourages a counterpart to feel good in their skin and to love his/herself for their own purpose rather than their partner’s. The grainy opening riff commands attention and sets the pace for the driving bassline and gospel background vocals, to create a praising feel-good, spiritual exhilaration.
“The rhythm of the song comes from ‘Chain Gang’,” introduced the Portland, Oregon-based singer/songwriter Stonehawker. “It’s a feel-good song about looking inside yourself and loving yourself–a baptismal anthem with a Tom Petty vibe.”
The track follows the successful momentum of Stonehawker’s latest single titled “Please! Please! Please!” (January 26, 2024) which has garnered more than 121,000 Spotify streams to date, and arrives as a second introduction to his CD, GAMBLIN’ MAN, slated for release in mid-July.
