Grammy-nominated duo, Louis York, has released their latest single, "Headphones," which is available now wherever you find great music. The track, releasing through the group's label, Weirdo Workshop, reminds us all of the healing power of music and art. Over the past few years, the news cycle has been both informative and agonizing - we've experienced polarizing politics, social unrest and a gloabl pandemic. "Headphones" explores the power and healing qualities that unqiuely apply to music and the connective engery between sound and the human spirit, especially in the tough times.
"Life has been challenging for us and everyone we know, so music has been essential. It's been the only thing keeping us from going crazy," says the duo. "We want 'Headphones' to represent a song's ability to help during the darkest times. Right now, people should be paying close attention to their mental health so we're offering up a melody and a message that might heal someone the way music has been healing us."

Lyrics:
I’m a mental case all day every day
Headphones
Bonnie Raitt
Let it play
Let it play
Ain't it funny how someone you don't know
Can bring out an ocean of tears
And make you face the demons you were running from for years
All of us girls and boys
We're all just broken toys
Looking for some warm arms to call home
Looking for a pure heart
Tried fighting this alone but sadness lingers on
So I just need to hear a song or two to pull me out the dark
Sometimes it takes a broken heart
To fix a broken heart
So nothing anyone say to you can do what a sad song can do
It takes a tortured soul
To reach a tortured soul
Nothing in the world gets you through
Quite like a sad song can do for you
How much can I take I'm going insane
Headphones Bonnie Raitt
Let it play
Let it still play
Ain’t it crazy how someone can move you
Without even using their hands
And pull you through the madness
Better than even your mother can
All of us girls and boys
We're all just broken toys
Looking for some warm arms to call home
Looking for a pure heart
Tried fighting this alone but sadness lingers on
So I just need to hear a song or two to pull me out the dark
Sometimes it takes a broken heart
To fix a broken heart
So nothing anyone say to you can do what a sad song can do
It takes a tortured soul
To reach a tortured soul
Nothing in the world gets you through
Quite like a sad song can do for you
Whoo
Whoo
Whoo
Whoo
It’s just me and Bonnie Raitt
Pushing through the pain
Leave me here alone
To get lost in these headphones
Me and Bonnie Raitt
Pushing through the pain
Leave me here alone
To get lost in these headphones
Me and Bonnie Raitt
Pushing through the pain
Leave me here alone
To get lost in these headphones
Me and Bonnie Raitt
Pushing through the pain
Leave me here alone
To get lost in these headphones
Whoo
Whoo
Whoo
Whoo

Releasing alongside the track is the song's poignant music video directed by Aaron Greene. Louis York wanted to create a visual that captures the emotions that this song is all about. The concept was meant to illustrate the feelings of loneliness, despair and confusion followed by the comfort and freedom that great music brings out. The song and video are all about personal connection with music.
