#Song 77

Hiding In The Blue by TheFatRat & RIELL

This song was released on July 9, 2021

Fun Fact: Can you share a little bit about RIELL and how this collaboration came about? "Yeah, she just reached out like so many others. She said she wanted to work with me and I kind of liked the song but the direction wasn’t quite right and I told her, “hey I’m more searching in this direction.” Then she wrote like five songs in the direction I had told her. It was really cool but it was still too… “normal” for me. So I got her on a call and said, “can you just try something crazy.” Then I had this idea, maybe just write 40 different ideas, and about one week later she had them. Also, on the Zoom call we had, she had such a great vibe and I simply was so impressed by her dedication to creative work. So I invited her to Dubai for two weeks and we simply kept writing songs and we had an amazing fun time and yeah so that’s how that song happened."

Song #65

Canary in a Coal Mine by The Crane Wives

It was released on September 22, 2012

Fun Fact: Canaries were historically brought into coal mines in cages by miners, because if there were toxic gases such as carbon monoxide in the mines, they would kill off the canaries first and allow the miners to leave. A “canary in a coal mine” is thus a warning sign of danger. In this song, the singer shoulders the danger and pain faced by her partner, and suffers as a result.
