Amanda Shires Gives In To Passion On New Single “Leave It Alone”

Amanda Shires dropped the first single from her forthcoming album To The Sunset today. The track, “Leave It Alone,” explores the physical side of romantic love, a subject that is often difficult to write about without sounding downright cheesy. But Shires is a deft lyricist, and pulls the feat off with considerable aplomb. To wit:

Oh, let night start unfolding.
Get to the part where the space between us closes
where we lean into the gold-blue sky of morning
with the words we can’t find like bees inside us swarming.
I can’t leave it alone.

Of the song, Shires tells American Songwriter: “Love is a complicated and many-faced beast. Let it do us all in. It’s worth it.”

To The Sunset was produced by Dave Cobb and comes out August 3. Listen to “Leave It Alone” below.
