A journey into melancholy, Desert Life writes songs that explore the darker regions of the heart. With poetic lyricism and emotive arrangements, ‘Let It All Pass’' introduces a new voice to the Welsh music scene, whilst echoing the influences of Ryan Adams, Jeff Tweedy, Bon Iver and R.E.M. Their songs paint a sonic picture of life's highs and lows, the quiet moments of enlightenment, and the aching tug of loneliness.
Let It All Pass serves as a mirror, reflecting life's fleeting moments and deeper questions, inviting listeners to reflect and feel music in the album form.

The sea is different with every roll
Rivers in constant change
Clouds every second
It will never be the same again
The virgin snow always melts away Summer gives way to fall When the flowers bloom, they’ll soon die away
They will never be the same again
The last rays of the summer days
Hold onto the heat of the day Watch the flames dance in the fire pit
They will never be the same again
They will never be the same,
Never be the same
Never be the same,
Never be the same They will never be the same again Never be the same again
Watch the yellow light turn to grey
Raindrops start to fall Flowers close their petals like shields
They will never be the same again
Every day something changes
You learn to grow or forget A first touch, last kiss in a way
You will never be the same again
They will never be the same,
Never be the same,
Never be the same,
never be the same, They will never be the same again,
Never be the same again
They will never be the same,
Never be the same,
Never be the same,
Never be the same They will never be the same again Never be the same again
A baby grows with every passing day The baby is now a girl One day she’ll break the heart of some fool
He will never be the same again
They will never be the same,
Never be the same,
Never be the same,
Never be the same They will never be the same again Never be the same again
They will never be the same,
Never be the same,
Never be the same,
Never be the same They will never be the same again Never be the same again

"Heroine" and "Bones" kept appearing in my 'randomizer' and I kept on thinking "who is this?", eventually I started digging and I was left wide eyed when I found out it was Justin Vernon (Bon Iver!)' Desert Life
