Andy Smythe is pretty clear about what his mission is. Writing relatable, introspective gems with elegant, blissful production. Here at Mesmerized, we have covered the project quite a lot recently, and honestly, Smythe seems to be getting better and better record after record. ‘Tears Can Heal’ is the strongest evidence of that: Andy’s latest effort, the track is extremely meaningful and nuanced.
Focusing on celebrating an old friend who passed away a few years ago, ‘Tears Can Heal’ is particularly important for Smythe. Teaming up with fellow musician Chris Payne, Andy builds a stunning orchestral livery around the song, a perfect match for such evocative lyricism. His vocals float over the track with ease and confidence, instantly hypnotising the listeners.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the record, Smythe explains: “This is a song about the memory of friendship. It tells the story of a dear friend that I lost some years ago”. It also manifests Payne’s longstanding friendship, here sealed by an artistic collaboration that’s certainly successful.
