Traveling musicians who leave loved ones at home don't have it easy. Spending months on the road can be tough, and as we hear with the sadness and longing in Dawn Golden's lyrics on Ryan Hemsworth's new single, "Snow In Newark", he's channeled that emotion into performance—and it's worked out rather well. Over the backdrop of Hemsworth's optimistic-sounding production, there's really an emotional tug-of-war going on. Even if you're not in the shoes of a traveling musician, too, we've all experienced missing a loved one, and a track like this one is the personification of those emotions, albeit, in an oddly juxtaposed sonic context. "Snow In Newark" is the first official song to be released from Ryan Hemworth's upcoming album, and the single will be released on October 20th as a 7" on that will features the B-side "Body Pillow" with Ricky Eat Acid.
