Oaken Wires finds survival in the gap between goodbye and tomorrow with "Parakeets"

Oaken Wires’ latest release, “Parakeets” is a meditation on a relationship, through memories, missed opportunities, and words left unsaid, while keeping its eyes on a more uncertain present. The verses moves between dreams and acceptance, and there is a considered sense of progression in the emotional journey. The chorus echoes that sentiment, observing the harder world we live in but not forgetting survival. It’s not what we were made for; it’s what we do now” becomes the track’s signature idea, simple, strong, a reminder that change can be a kind of strength in itself.
