Last month, Laura Veirs announced a new album, Found Light, and shared its lead single “Winter Windows.” Today, she’s sharing another new track, “Seaside Haiku,” a simmering one which is made up of some haikus that Veirs wrote while on a not so seasonally appropriate beach trip.

“This song captures the feeling I had of my emerging independence as a solo woman in the world during that wintry time,” Veirs said in a statement. “It’s been a learning curve for me to figure out how not to give too much of myself in relationships at the expense of my own needs. This is a song to remind myself of that, and also to remind all women who are socialized to give so much to others. It’s a call to hold onto our strength and power and to share it reciprocally instead of blithely giving it away.”
