Rising Appalachia - Stand Like An Oak (Official Music Video)

Sisters Chloe Smith and Leah Song sing this original folk song for the times.

⁣
We hopped into Echo Mountain Studios right before the global shutdown to capture this new song. The words and message wanted to get themselves out into this world. Perfection is overrated and folk music is core. Sometimes we merely catch a song when it comes through... do our best to get out of the way and let the muses and the music make their way in this world. ⁣
⁣
We hope this song weaves into y'alls lives... bringing peace and respite to shallow breaths and hard days. ⁣
⁣
One love. ⁣

Lyrics:
stand like an oak
an aspen, an alder
its in you, dont faulter
and if so than i got you
fake it, walk taller
anything that makes you feel smaller
leave it by the angels of the water

push em up push em up
put away your cares
fold them, fold them
fold up your fears

he said come to this river
give me your arms
lean back
theres nothing to be alarmed of
he said the more i know, the more i dig
and the more i return to myself
around every bend

push em up push em up
put away your cares
fold them fold them
fold up your fears
