Was It You

When it comes to shared human experiences, heartbreak is one of the most fundamental. In Was It You, the first volume of Ely Cartwright’s One Take Sessions, Cartwright explores the landscape of the broken heart. Using down to earth imagery from daily life, these songs get inside some of the darkest moments felt through the loss of love, and yet, there remains a tenor of hopefulness in the melodies and lyrics. Was It You is a collection of songs rooted in the belief that beauty can carry us through whatever life throws our way.
