With an earnest ability to create a delicate balance of harmony, melody, deep emotion and subtlety, Lee DeWyze’s depth as a songwriter call to mind some of his earliest influences like Simon and Garfunkel, Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens) and Johnny Cash.
 
His last 2 releases Victims Of The Night (April 2020), and the EP Castles (Oct 2019), have garnered over 1M streams.
 
There are no false notes in these four exquisite songs, each one a unique light in the constellation of his imagination. He sings quietly, as if whispering secrets. His lyrics and melodies mesmerize, cycling like nursery rhymes, somehow soothing while also sharpening our alertness that something unusual is going on here.
 
Over the last 10 years, Lee has released five albums, including his critically
lauded Frames (Vanguard Records, 2013), which included the top 40 Billboard Hot AC hit “Fight.” His songs have appeared in over 70 movies, TV shows, and commercials, and today we’re thrilled to premiere the new video for “Weeds” – streaming below!
 
The video showcases unique animation that adds a cool touch to an already compelling story. DeWyze’s airy vocals and the song’s contemplative vibe are a perfect match, and a breath of fresh air. Let us know what you think!


In his own words:

Weeds explores the nature of love and relationships and how that parallels the cycle of life. 
How some things can be found when you don’t even know you’re looking for them. 
It’s about growing and learning to be vulnerable. 
How a time, place, and moment can play such a crucial part in where we end up and how we got there. 
Weeds is about finding beauty in the most unsuspecting places.
