Tyler Jarvis releases his latest single "In the Fall"
Memories feel like the moment a match is struck and a flame dances powerfully, or the moment a single leaf — green turned gold from the change of seasons — breaks off its branch and whimsically falls to the ground. It can feel fast and it can feel slow. The power of a flame or the haunting descent of a falling leaf can emulate how a memory feels when it abruptly, and sometimes unwelcomingly infiltrates our being, but it always, always is for something good: like shining light or for transformation and new growth.
Tyler Jarvis, with his latest single “In the Fall” released November 6, 2020, brings to surface that exact feeling when a season or a moment ignites a memory. “In the Fall” pays homage to the places and people of our past that shape us into who we are, whether or not the feelings tied in with remembering are difficult ones to relive.
“In the Fall” is a transcendental capsule in its lyrics, its musicality, and its meaning. Tyler Jarvis uses unique and powerfully driven 1980s-influenced piano, guitar, and drums to illuminate the storyline in a way that expounds on nostalgia, freedom, and feelings — regardless of the kind. Lyrically, Tyler Jarvis catapults us into the moment and scene by capitalizing on senses, describing a hauntingly beautiful Tennessee memory in no other season than the fall, signifginf the very seasons of change we go through in life.
The storyline builds and explodes into an epic portrait through the chorus and effortlessly bleeds into a striking acoustic set of the same powerful chorus. The song is a framed picture of how it feels to remember a unique place, person, or part of your life that was prominent but perhaps now subsequent to the ever-evolving places life brings us. He sings, “These three long years have changed all our moments, but in the fall it still feels the same” and continues with, “mountain scenes and valley streams feel so make believe when it takes me back to how it used to be.” He leaves us feeling like “oof” to the same places of a difficult memory that come rushing back to surface while we grapple with the way we remember a memory compared to the way it is now. And all for the good.
“Memories have a way of making us feel unlike anything else in our lives. ‘In the Fall’ is a story of recognizing how important every memory is, and that we don’t have to let go of the bad ones.”
— Tyler Jarvis
