Lynz and Christian Simpson have teamed up to release a new duet called "Soaring," an upbeat and dreamy track that encourages listeners to take a leap of faith and bet on themselves and their dreams. Inspired by Owl City, the song is all about diving in head first with no fear and never being defeated by obstacles, both internal and external.
Lynz and Christian, who originally met through SoundCloud around 2016 when they were releasing songs in high school, have been working tirelessly on "Soaring" for years. The song has undergone multiple revisions, with countless Zoom calls and tweaks between the two artists during the pandemic. Despite the challenges, Lynz and Christian were determined to see the song through to completion, a triumph in and of itself.
The chorus lyrics - "Diving in headfirst, with no fear. No parachute, alone in the atmosphere. I think I see the ground, but I’m not going down. Not much to lose, just the world to gain. They say to win, you’ve got to fight through the pain. But they won't see me drown, 'cause I am soaring now" - are both catchy and empowering.
Lynz and Christian wrote the lyrics and produced the song themselves, recording their parts separately and working on it entirely remotely. The result is an upbeat and acoustic track full of exciting synths and melodies that will get your toes tapping and your heart racing.
"Soaring" was brought to life by mixing talents of Justin Hergett, a Grammy-nominated engineer. (FINNEAS, Nick Jonas, Grabbitz, Small Pools) Lynz had the courage and took a leap of faith to ask Justin to work on the song, and he gladly accepted, taking it to a whole new level.
The mastering of "Soaring" was handled by Tess Greenham, daughter of Grammy-winning mastering engineer John Greenham, who has worked with artists such as Billie Eilish, Finneas, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, and Lindsey Stirling.
Lynz, a dreamy singer-songwriter and producer originally from snowy Buffalo, New York, has been turning heads since she was just 12 years old. With her first self-produced full-length album, "Dusk At Dawn," Lynz proved that she is a force to be reckoned with, even winning the 2016 Buffalo Music Hall Of Fame songwriting competition. Recently, Lynz honed her skills at Westlake Studios in Los Angeles, producing for other artists and playing local shows.
Christian Simpson is a music producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who has released several albums, plays in multiple bands and at church, and collaborates with a wide range of artists.
Together, Lynz and Christian have created a duet that is both inspiring and catchy, urging listeners to take a chance and reach for the stars.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ve heard it said
You only get what you put in
And in the end
What you give comes right back again
If that’s the case
Then I’ll get blood sweat and tears
Cuz I’ve been at this, yeah I’ve been at this for years
No I won't give up now
No I won’t let up
Cuz I’m all in it now
Cuz I’m
[Chorus]
Diving in headfirst, with no fear
No parachute, alone in the atmosphere
I think I see the ground
But I’m not going down
Not much to lose, just the world to gain
They say to win, you’ve got to fight through the pain
But they won't see me drown
Cuz I am soaring now
[Verse 2]
Well there’s been times
When I have questioned it all
The leap of faith
Is it really worth the fall?
It’s safer here
Three steps back from the edge
Dreams disappear... if you let ‘em, only if you let ‘em
[Pre-Chorus]
No I don’t plan on that
Only if you let ‘em
No I don’t plan on that
Cuz I’m
[Chorus 2]
Diving in headfirst, with no fear
No parachute, alone in the atmosphere
I think I see the ground
But I’m not going down
Not much to lose, just the world to gain
They say to win, you’ve got to fight through the pain
But they won't see me drown
Cuz I am soaring now
[Bridge]
When the lights go down after the show
And I’m so tired and I wanna head home
Spending days just laying in bed
Nothing to do can’t get out of my head
We all want to bring back the good old days
Looking for joy all around but we’re scared if we change
We’ll lose everything that we hold dear
We’ll always be haunted by our fear
If we’re not
[Chorus 3]
Diving in headfirst, with no fear
No parachute, alone in the atmosphere
I think I see the ground
But I’m not going down
Not much to lose, just the world to gain
They say to win, you’ve got to fight through the pain
