Why Bonnie Share New Single "Rhyme or Reason", Announce Tour Dates
Today, Why Bonnie, the New York-based project of Blair Howerton, unveil the new single/visualizer “Rhyme or Reason” from their upcoming album Wish on the Bone, out August 30th on Fire Talk. In conjunction, Why Bonnie announce a fall North American tour, with dates in Boston, Toronto, Chicago, and more (tickets are on sale this Friday at 10am local time). “Rhyme or Reason” is about regenerating a sense of hope after the loss of Howerton’s brother, which happened just as she was beginning to come into her own as a songwriter. To cope, she wrote song after song, built a catalog despite her suffering, and in doing so, developed a new relationship to spirituality, one that she defines on “Rhyme or Reason.” On the bridge, Howerton warns of what it feels like to lose the warmth of love: it’s like Halley’s Comet, “it comes fast/ And you’ll miss it if you blink.” Of the track, Howerton says: "’Rhyme or Reason’ is about coming to terms with the impermanence of life and how that’s scary but also really beautiful."
