William Harries Graham – “Philadelphia”
Americana Highways brings you this video premiere of William Harries Graham’s song “Philadelphia” from his forthcoming album Annie’s House, due out on October 25 via Strolling Bones Records. Annie’s House was produced by Harries Graham and Gordy Quist; recorded by Gordy Quist at The Finishing School in Austin; mixed by Steve Christensen at Mixing and Cats in Houston; and mastered by Chris Longwood at Chris Longwood Mastering in Houston.
“Philadelphia” is William Harries Graham on vocals and acoustic guitar; David Goodrich on electric guitar; Cameron Riggs on piano; Chris Searles on drums; and Bobby Danie on bass.
“Do you still think that you could change my mind… do you still think that you could talk me off the ledge? ’cause I’m scared I’m getting too close to it…” This is a powerful song of youthful excesses and binges on Jameson; a nostalgia look back at addiction and growing pains, delivered from a safer place of serenity and maturity: “Annie would you sing me a song? … These days the crossword is my best friend.” Commanding and provocative raw talent.
“Philadelphia” really is all about acceptance of who you are in relation to your past. I think we can be so self aware of who we think we’re supposed to be that we can get lost in the shuffle. On one hand, we are looking backwards at who we once were and the fun that we had as we grew up. But this song is about learning to appreciate periods of your life as distinct spaces where you might want completely different things. You might just wanna have your morning coffee and do the crossword instead of partying until 4am.- William Harries Graham
