Press For Tim Lyre
“Chasing Wind” is a follow up of his hit single, “Confess. The single is a joyous neo-soul duty dancehall tune with imagery by the Greek myth of Hermes. It is a note of reassurance to his mother to worry less and also a solemn reminder to others that “if you’re certain it’s worth it then don’t quit. This song is to remind you to never give up.”
Taken from the lyrics of the song,
“Sometimes life come around
And it hit you from both sides
One minute you’re up
Then you’re down in no time
Takes a lot for me to get back to my right mind Someone tell the devil he can never control mine……..”
Tim expresses his vulnerability about tough times and the time it takes to get right back on track. Regardless, he is self conscious and won’t be controlled when it comes to his creativity. He also possesses the nature of being a musical doctor and recommends this song for everyone.
While being a song of reassurance and honesty, it also embodies the blessings that come from manifestations.
“Chasing Wind” was Produced by Tim, mixed and mastered by Sam Harper, (Wizkid, NSG, Tion Wayne) this song comes out sounding clear as glass, with rhythms subtle but evident like ripples of water when the bass hits hard.
As regards his future plans, Tim Lyre is currently working in his next project titled “MASTA”
