Water from Your Eyes Announce New Album It's a Beautiful Place, Reveal 2025 Tour Dates
The post Water from Your Eyes Announce New Album It's a Beautiful Place, Reveal 2025 Tour Dates appeared first on Consequence. Water from Your Eyes are back to announce a new album, It's a Beautiful Place, out on August 22nd via Matador. They've also confirmed a major 2025 North American tour set for this fall, and revealed the first single off It's a Beautiful Place: 'Life Signs.' The former CoSigns, comprised of songwriters Rachel Brown and Nate Amos, were inspired by turn-of-the-millennial sonics, outer space, existentialism, and writing for their newly-fitted live band on It's a Beautiful Place. 'It ended up being about time, dinosaurs and space,' Amos said of the new album in a press release. 'We wanted to present a wide range of styles in a way that acknowledges everything's just a tiny blip.' Get Water from Your Eyes Tickets Here They'll be supporting It's a Beautiful Place with a sprawling North American tour this fall, which kicks off in Philadelphia on September 22nd. They'll make their way through cities like Washington D.C., Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, Montreal, New York, Austin, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver, and many more; they'll conclude the run on November 7th in Denver before heading off to Europe.

'Life Signs' serves as the lead single for It's a Beautiful Place and it's a moody, guitar-forward introduction to the album's expansive sound. Cycling between slightly threatening and resigned, Amos brings palm-muted arpeggios and grungy blasts of guitar while Brown narrates deadpanned, surrealist verses. The song also arrives with a music video inspired by several eras of television, and feature Amos and Brown in a variety of vintage sets and situations. Check out 'Life Signs' below. Since releasing their lauded 2023 album Everyone's Crushed, Brown and Amos have been busy; they toured frequently, embarking on a large slate of dates opening for their labelmates Interpol (including their performance in Mexico City, which drew 160,000 attendees) and a co-headlining run with Squid. They also resurfaced for a covers EP in 2024. Meanwhile, they both released solo albums: Brown shared an EP under the moniker thanks for coming, while Amos released an acclaimed debut album Box For Buddy, Box For Star last year as This Is Lorelei.

A Joyful Anthem: Travis Tritt's ‘It's a Great Day to Be Alive'
Songwriter Darrell Scott will always remember his source of inspiration for one of country music's most cheerful hits, 'It's a Great Day to be Alive.' Despite the song's sunny tone, the Nashville artist wrote it after suffering from a week-long back injury that left him unable to complete simple tasks on his own. In 2023, he 'After 6 or 7 days when I could [finally] sit up, I was literally just heating rice in a microwave—and considering making soup. Just sitting at the table, which I hadn't done all week. It was the most blessed thing to do such simple things. And that's where the song came from.' Scott released 'It's a Great Day to Be Alive' on his own album, 'Aloha from Nashville,' in 1997. When country star Travis Tritt included it on his seventh studio album, 'Down the Road I Go,' country music fans fell in love with his soulful interpretation. A Timeless Message Compact Disc pamphlet for Travis Tritt's 2000 album "Down the Road I Go," featuring his rendition of Darrell Scott's song, "It's A Great Day to Be Alive." Internet Archive. Public Domain Tritt's rendition of the optimistic tune was released in 2000, and it quickly became a country classic thanks to its inspiring message that encouraged listeners to appreciate and celebrate the sheer fact of being alive. It climbed all the way to the second spot on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart. The lyrics Tritt belts out offer snapshots into Scott's time of healing, like the fan-favorite opening line, 'I've got rice cookin' in the microwave,' or the line from another early verse, 'I think I'll make me some home-made soup.' The song was borne from a painful time in Scott's life. But creating a song that champions cherishing the precious nature of life helped foster a healthy, life-long perspective for the artist. Related Stories 1/4/2025 8/22/2024 When asked if the song still has the same impactful meaning to him today, Scott shared how its message continues to influence him. 'It's just taking that moment, when you realize, 'Hey, it is a great day to be alive. I am glad to be alive.' There's no shame in saying such a thing. And that's still the case. You know, that wasn't just in 1994 or '95 or '97. Any day that you can feel that way is a great day.' Touching on the importance of life's little moments of joy, he said, 'Man, anything that makes you grateful, is a great day to be alive.' Cover for Darrell Scott's 1997 album "Aloha from Nashville," featuring "It's A Great Day To Be Alive." Sugarhill Reflecting on 30 Years in the Business With Scott's story woven into the lyrics, the song takes on the role of a healing anthem. Tritt's professional fingerprint transformed it into a career-building song. The country singer often gives solo, acoustic performances these days, and 'It's a Great Day to be Alive' is always on the set list. While 'It's amazing to me. In some ways, it feels like it's just flown by. … I've been doing this for 32 years now. Nobody was more surprised when it all happened than I was—I'm still marveling at the fact that it's still going on after all this time. I just feel extremely blessed and thankful that I have an opportunity to do what I love so much.' What arts and culture topics would you like us to cover? Please email ideas or feedback to

Mythic Quest fans left furious with cancellation of TV series
TV viewers have been left furious after the sudden cancellation of one of Apple 's longest-running shows. It has been announced that comedy series Mythic Quest, starring and produced by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 's Rob McElhenney, will not be returning after season four. In an unprecedented move, the show's finale, which ended last month on a cliffhanger, is being 'updated' to bring the story to a close. The new ending will be added to the episode later this month. The sitcom, showing the inner workings of a video game studio, was one of Apple's first forays into TV. It received acclaim over its four-season run – and earnt a spin-off, titled Side Quest, which was released earlier this year. 'Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close,' executive producers Megan Ganz, David Hornsby, and McElhenney said of the news. 'We're so proud of the show and the world we got to build – and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it. To all our fans, thank you for playing with us. 'To our partners at Apple, thank you for believing in the vision from the very beginning. Because endings are hard, with Apple's blessing we made one final update to our last episode – so we could say goodbye, instead of just game over.' Fans are expressing their sadness over the show's cancellation, and the news has been called everything from 'disappointing' to 'short sighted'. 'This is an insult,' one person complained, with another stating: 'Having your show cancelled and you have to redo the finale because it's now the SERIES FINALE is beyond f***ed up.' Many others questioned whether Apple promoted the show enough. 'Latest victim of the frustrating trend of streaming services not promoting a show at all and then cancelling it. What happened to building and nurturing an audience?' a viewer wrote on X/Twitter 'Particularly puzzling considering the good reviews + the fact that they released a spinoff just last month... McElhenney starred in the series alongside Charlotte Nicdao, Danny Pudi, Ashly Burch, Imani Hakim, Jessie Ennis, Naomi Ekperigin and F Murray Abraham, who played video game writer CW Longbottom A Rolling Stone report claimed that Abraham left the show after two concerns regarding his on-set behaviour. According to a production source, the actor was allegedly warned to keep away from some of the series's female stars. However, a second incident, which was brought to McElhenney, is said to have resulted in his departure. Abraham issued a 'a sincere and deeply felt apology' after the report surfaced. 'Though never my intention to offend anyone, I told jokes – nothing more – that upset some of my colleagues and as a result lost a great job with wonderful people,' the Amadeus actor told ComingSoon. 'I have grown in my understanding from this experience, and I hope they will forgive me.' At the time of season three's release, McElhenney told Variety: 'It's a bummer to not have Murray in this season. But we recognize that CW is a beloved character and obviously a huge part of the show. So, we made sure that we have a really fitting tribute to him. We definitely address it in a big way.'
