Saskatchewan Indie Pop Songwriter Nick Faye Explores Healthy Love on New Single "Lonely"
• LISTEN TO + SHARE THE ATMOSPHERIC “LONELY” HERE •
Nick Faye is a songwriter from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, living on Treaty 4 Territory. His new song, “Lonely,” explores themes around healthy and good love: approaching a relationship with intentions of trying to be a good partner, encouraging healthy communication, and trying to make your partner feel safe and loved. It was written for everyone working hard to be a good partner, and trying their best to help their partners feel safe to ask for what they want. Reciprocity is a major theme of this song, and the upcoming album it will hail from.

I was inspired to write this song by my dating experiences in my mid-30’s. I noticed a common trend among people I would meet, where partners didn't always feel comfortable sharing what their needs were and what they truly were looking for in a relationship. I was working hard to be a considerate and reciprocal partner, and most of that initial work was trying to make people feel safe and comfortable to actually share what they truly needed/wanted to flourish, instead of what they thought they should be doing or what society tells them they should want. – Nick Faye
You tell me that you’re sad
You say you’re going through it
It doesn’t make you weak to just exist
Growing out of the same Saskatchewan emo-acoustic-hardcore scene of the late 2000’s that spawned the likes of Andy Shauf, Foxwarren, and Northcote, indie pop/rock songwriter Nick Faye crafts timeless songs that honour this past, embracing the hopes, dreams and frustrations of life lived in the Canadian Prairies. Fusing this with a clear love of mid-90s Pop Rock (think Rick Dees and The Weekly Top 40 in 1999), he creates songs that stick in the mind like a prairie snowdrift - taking their sweet time to melt away, slowly revealing the hope of new beginnings to come.
