Wolfchild // new single
New York Country Artist, Ken Wilber, Releases Lyric Video for New Single, “You’ve Gone to My Head”
“This is such a nice, flowing love song; the kind that just grabs you. I recorded this song in February on 2018 as part of my first session in Nashville. My daughter was seven months old at the time and that was the longest I had ever been away from my family. I was missing my wife and daughter and that was my inspiration for my performance of the song,” said Ken Wilber. “The lyrics and the melody transported me back in time to how I felt when my wife and I first started dating. My hope is that people can listen to this song and be reminded of similar experiences in their own life.”

Taking its title from the practice in the 16th century of witch-finders and family members testing the “cleanliness of the suspect – they were stripped, examined for marks, and pricked with needles to test their sorcery, with a lack of reaction taken to mean they were in league with the Devil himself.” Heather drags this into the 21st Century, wondering if it is still the people closest to you who are most likely to betray you.

Heron Shares Single “Splashdown”
