Today, we’re shining a light on one of the most calm and collected songs we’ve covered—a brand-new mid-week release from Canadian singer-songwriter Ryan Harris titled “it’s alright.” This track stands out not by overwhelming the listener with lyrics, but by capturing a sonic moment in time, offering a soothing and reflective experience.
With its poignant melodies and effortless energy, “it’s alright” feels like an escape from reality, transporting listeners to a place of peace and acceptance. Harris delivers a simple yet powerful message: we can only control what we can control. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply, wrapped in a soundscape that invites stillness in an often chaotic world.
This release is a testament to the depth of the folk genre, proving that slowing things down can be just as impactful—if not more—than the trend of speeding things up. Harris leans into that patience, crafting a track that lingers long after the final note.
