Welcome to BuzzMusic Luke Mills. We truly appreciate the optimistic and forward-thinking approach you've brought to your single "Answers on the Wind." What inspired this passionate and positive single?
What inspired this new single was the idea of chasing and working towards a goal that you might not achieve, but still holding on to who you are as a person and understanding that success or failure does not define your value or worth. Was it difficult for you to open up and write rather emotional words for "Answers on the Wind," or was it easy to write your genuine lyricism?
It really was a little difficult to write the words to "Answers On The Wind." I really had to dig deep to come to a place of honesty about the failures and successes in my own life. Our hearts get broken all the time, but everything can heal and move on to better things if we understand that there are infinite 2nd chances in this life. Even our successes can end up contributing to our future failures, so it’s always important to know that our worth is not defined by our accomplishments or failures. I believe there is a plan and place for every living soul and the answer we are looking for surrounds us. The devil kicks us in the door and also kicks us out. He gets us coming and going. It can really take the wind out of your sails if you let it. Being defined by Love allows even your failures to turn into success. We all will fail at some point in our lives.
Did you work with any producers to help bring "Answers on the Wind" to life? What was your experience like when navigating the instrumentals and production?
Once again I traveled to Denver CO to work with Joshua Olsen. He fixed me up with and produced my last single Love Another Day and I knew he would be great to work with on Answers On The Wind. I have been holding on to this song for over 5 years waiting for the right time to record and craft it into the right song that you hear now. Josh has a great talent for directing the instrumentation to take the melody and lyrics of the song to a deeper place they couldn’t go on their own. I really love working with him and he really knows how to somehow hear what’s in my head and bring it to life on the speakers.
Do you normally release such inspirational songs like "Answers on the Wind?" Would you say that you're known for these motivational and optimistic pieces?
That is a question I do get asked a lot. I write whatever comes out of my heart. I try and be positive with my messaging as much as possible as I feel like the world has enough negative influences trying to steal away all of our joy. So I guess you could say it is a theme that runs through most of my writing. I like to have fun as well, but I also do a lot of thinking about the human condition and how my role in this life can contribute to making it a little better for everyone. What's next for you?
I’m heading to Nashville TN to work on the next batch of songs to release. I’m working through the recent loss of my dad and I’m doing a lot of soul searching that I know will be an influence on this next project. It’s definitely going to be something that will honor the legacy he forged with his life. He was kind, optimistic, and was always eager for others' success. I hope to share some of the traits and values that helped make me with everyone who will hear these future songs. It’s been a great past few years and I’m excited to see where my team and I will be one year from now.
