Aaron Wylder pens an ode to The One in his new single Woman — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The blazing new single from the Victoria singer-songwriter’s new EP The King Of My Own Heart is about the internal gears that shift to make a man want to find something deeper in his relationships. “I try to write what I hear in my head and what I feel in my chest,” says Wylder. “It’s a damn cool thing to write a song that not only you love but speaks to others as well.”
The King Of My Own Heart is about the trials and tribulations of life and brimming with harmonic personality. “I try to get better and better with every record. I try to grow my sound while exploring new ones,” says Wylder, who describes his music-writing process as constant trial and error. “Licks turn into jams, and jams turn into new songs. This is how it works, at least for me. In terms of inspiration, each song has its own unique meaning.”
Woman came together during a rainy cold Vancouver Island winter day as he reflected on his past relationships and experiences. “Damn, it is hard to find the person for you, if I’m honest. Not only do you learn a lot about yourself, but you also learn about what you want in a partner. For me, it was realizing that I am ready for a real woman.”
Wylder is anything but conventional in his approach to storytelling, which anchors his lyricism somewhere between a parable as much a cautionary tale of self-exploration:
“Deep down in the eye of the hurricane
My chest just keeps on burning
I got half a heart of love
The others waiting to fill up
Ask me what’s the point
I need a woman.”
Born and raised in the Cayman Islands, Wylder can be found most often with a guitar in his hands. His musical cadence is inspired by The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and Townes Van Zandt. Nothing motivates him more than the prospect of creating resonating songs. “If I’m able to make music that I enjoy and people enjoy it too, then I’ll die a happy man.”
