Christian Wethered is making waves in the music scene, and his release, “Into the Garden,” is sure to resonate with many. This song isn’t just another catchy tune; it dives deep into the very essence of what “home” means in our ever-changing world.
Wethered draws inspiration from the story of Adam and Eve to explore how our notions of home can be both comforting and confining. In his own words, he describes the song as “a lonely song” that reflects the bittersweet experiences of love, loss, and the unavoidable sacrifices we make as we navigate life. With so much turmoil in the world—be it the plight of homeless refugees in Dublin or the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine—Wethered’s lyrics force us to confront our understanding of belonging and safety.
The accompanying video, directed by Nestor Romero Clemente, adds a striking visual layer to the song’s themes. Filmed in Christ Church, Rathgar, it cleverly challenges the rigid norms we often cling to, whether they be religious or societal. Wethered, with his blend of poetic lyrics and acoustic melodies, has already captured hearts with his debut album, “Mon Petit Jardin.”
As he prepares to unveil this new chapter of his artistic journey, it’s exciting to think about how “Into the Garden” will further showcase his unique voice and perspective. For fans of heartfelt storytelling through music, this is definitely one release to keep an eye on!
