Reflecting Down The Line: Pete Campbell’s Newest Americana Single “Maybe It Was Wrong”

Pilot Light Records presents: “Maybe It Was Wrong" from singer-songwriter Pete Campbell, a new single that manages to stay in touch with its Americana roots while still breaking new ground.

Pete Campbell - Maybe it was Wrong

Much of our lives is spent in the past, reflecting, and ruminating on events that have already transpired. In his signature stripped down americana style, Pete Campbell sheds light on this very human phenomenon, with catchy yet introspective lyrics which beautifully compliment a melodic 60’s style composition.

Pete Campbell is a singer-songwriter from Connecticut who surprisingly, despite his musical talent and plethora of influence, is fresh on the scene. When he isn't slinging a guitar, and writing songs, you'll find him with his hands in the dirt of his beloved Horse Shoe Farm. Farmer Pete likes his music the way he likes his produce, organically grown, all natural, and delivered straight from the heart. This organic, raw and rootsy feel is exactly what makes songs like his newest release so impactful.

“Maybe It Was Wrong” succeeds at both being authentically organic while still maintaining excellent composition. This track blends americana instrumentals with melodic, memorable lyricism that speaks to the soul and mind. It feels akin to that of a song on “Let It Bleed” by The Rolling Stones, considering the twangy elements included, while still maintaining a bluesy feel, all packaged nicely together with tender lyrics.

Pilot Light Records is a new record label powered by Factory Underground Studio of Norwalk, CT. The goal of the Pilot Light label is to provide major label-quality support for emerging independent artists with advanced music marketing, and strategic artist development.

Pilot Light's parent company Factory Underground is one of the top recording studios and media companies in the northeastern United States.

Divinity In Question: Vicki F’s Newest Single “There Is a God” Brings Light To An Age Old Query

Pilot Light Records presents: “There Is a God" from singer-songwriter Vicki F, a new single that blends atmospheric, ethereal elements with the artists signature indie folk style.

Written by Matt Srolis

Featuring a uniquely atmospheric daze, stripped down instrumentation, and lyrics that challenge one’s perception of our own maker, Vicki F’s newest single “There Is a God” manages to hit hard on all levels emotionally.

Vicki’s re-entry into the world of music since her days of playing at CBGB proves there's so much more to come from an artist who has managed to impress, no matter the connotation. Her songs today mainly take inspiration from indie-folk and alternative rock, with her citing Joni Mitchell, Lou Reed, And Neil Young to be some of her biggest influences that have helped shape her musical palette.

“There Is a God” in particular implements ethereal qualities into this formula, with an ability to sound Mazzy Star-esque at times with its spacey acoustic nature, while still separating itself thanks to the addition of an extra level of emotional intensity. The song is able to feel atmospheric and trance inducing while still maintaining its strength and powerful message. Ultimately, the dark yet intriguing lyricism is the main focus of attention, which acts as a desperate plea towards a greater power for help in a seemingly bleak world. This struggle for purpose, spirituality, and guidance is an aspect of life many can and will relate to.

Joshua Morris on the Heartbreak of Addiction: If You Fall

Anyone who has ever loved someone in a battle of addiction and self-destruction will relate to the lyrics of Joshua Morris" song "If You Fall." A strikingly beautiful song, with acoustic guitars and stringed accompaniment, Joshua's vocal cracks with deep emotion, as he laments for a lover deeply affected by from past traumatic experiences, acting out of anger and self-loathing, choosing drugs and alcohol over sobriety, in an endless cycle of self-destruction.

Josh seems to be singing from that sad, pivotable point of knowing that he can no longer save the person the person he loves, and must choose to save himself.

"It was loosely written about a few relationships I have been in over the years, not just one really, but multiple instances, where the person I was with had been through a traumatic experience, that made them into into a very angry person. You start out have compassion for that person, but over time, as they weaponize their self destructive tendencies, to try to convince you to see them the way they see themselves. Unfortunately, it kind of ends up working out that way," Joshua says.

"You get to a point of asking "How much can you change that person for the better versus how much will they change you for the worst," he says.

"If You Fall" is the last song on Joshua Morris album "It Ain't Easy" released by Pilot Light Records in February 2023. It features guitar work by Grammy Award-winning producer Paul Nelson.

Lyrics of "If You Fall" by Joshua Morris:

I don't mind If you take a drink Do what you want to Forget what I think anyway Dying is easier than living this way Go and call your friends Stay out 'till morning Forget what I say And I won't mourn you anyway 'Cause dying is easier than living this way 'Cause I don't mind I really don't mind at all 'Cause I'll stop caring if you fall So do what you want to Put it in your arm 'Cause I won't sit here And be your alarm anyway 'Cause i'll be leaving any day So blame me for it all Go run and cry To your mom anyway 'Cause I'll be leaving any day 'Cause I don't mind I really don't mind at all 'Cause I'll stop caring if you fall If you fall...
