From me to you:

Hi! I'm Summer Winter. I'm an indie-pop singer/songwriter from Maui, based in LA. Hopefully you're reading this because you liked this track. If so, thank you for listening! All of the songs I write are about my personal experience with love, grief, gratitude, sobriety, growing up, and all the sexy things life has to offer us. I've written hundreds of songs and I'm so happy at least one of them is resonating with you. It makes my whole day to know that my pain/processing can help others. Please reach out and say hi. I always love to know which lyrics/moments in songs people like most. <3 

About Gifts Unravel: 

This is a song about finally being able to look people in the eye and be present. I heard a friend say “we’re all angels with one wing and need each other to fly” and that poetic statement struck me with gratitude for the deep relationships in my life that carried me through a really hard year of grief. I wanted the sound to feel intimate, dynamic, slightly nostalgic, and playful to match the quality of my friendships.

 

Gifts Unravel is a romantic declaration about connection. I tracked vocals in a beautifully peaceful studio in The Catskills of upstate NY at The Outlier Inn on a combination of old microphones including a birdcage. One of my favorite moments is the sound of a sparkly sword right before the chorus at 2:01 to represent how my friends slice through my fears with ease. This is the most romantic song I’ve ever written not about love. I’m gonna sing this song to all of the beautiful people in my life and look them right in the eyes the whole time.

​

Big love and aloha from me to you. I invite you to listen with a cup of tea and follow along with the lyrics <3

Somethings moving in me

The way a creek floods

A storm of being to be

I find presence to mean peace

​

An angel with one wing

I soar only when you sing

I get outta my head

When I meet at a table to bring

​

Gifts unravel as in you I travel

We meet face to face

I can match your eyes

At any pace

​

I never used to be useful

I used to be used to

Getting my cup full

To drink and be lustful

​

You tend to the garden of my mind

Turning the graveyards to grape vines

Rich and plump with fruit

So sweet, rooted in truth

​

Gifts unravel as in you I travel

We meet face to face

I can match your eyes

At any pace

​

Gifts unravel as in you I travel

We meet face to face

I can match your eyes

In any place
