Fresh off a sold-out tour with Will Worm and the Tapeworms, “Lighthouse Keeper” marks both the lead single from Shayfer’s upcoming album Summoning and his first release with Nettwerk Music Group. The track is a vibrant, introspective exploration of identity, purpose, and the delicate interplay between solitude and connection. The lighthouse keeper represents someone who offers light and direction to those in need, yet sacrifices his own connection to others in the process. Halfway through the track, Shayfer contemplates another role—the traveling preacher—who also carries the allure of freedom but with a similarly solitary edge. Whether learning "to shine a light" or "to go to heaven if you learn to go to hell," the song offers a whimsical yet poignant meditation on the tension between helping others and remaining detached, ultimately suggesting that the richest stories come from walking the line between isolation and connection. On "Winter Hymn", James delves deep into the complexities of confronting one's fears, revealing a dialogue with his own shadow—a metaphor for the internal struggle between wisdom and doubt. The song becomes an anthem of resilience, celebrating the quiet triumph of choosing life and finding beauty in the midst of the cold. It is a hymn not just to winter, but to the enduring spirit that learns to love its place in the world.
