“At times, I’ve felt so far from my old self I wasn’t just in no man’s land. I was literally no land’s man, with no real address, country, or identity I felt comfortable claiming. And yet, there’s always the music.”
American singer-songwriter and actor, Tyler Hilton, has stepped back into the studio, creating a magical EP, No Land’s Man. Hilton continues to set himself apart from those in the music industry by staying true to his authenticity. His talent for creating moments of shared vulnerability and joy with his listeners is undeniable.
The California native is best known for his role in the hit TV show, One Tree Hill and his iconic singles, “Loaded Gun” and “Glad”. Over the years, Hilton has evolved as an artist, but has always created music that is meaningful and soul-stirring. As you listen to No Land’s Man, the singer is inviting you on a quest to find meaning and a sense of belonging.
“Sunday Afternoon (You)”, the second track on the EP, is a reflection of past relationships. The song is filled with feelings of nostalgia and longing for something. Hilton invites listeners to reflect on their own feelings of love and loss, creating a bittersweet sense of reminiscence. “It’s the little things that we talk about / Making faces ’til we’re both laughing / Never know that times ever passing by / With you on a Sunday afternoon”
“When It Rains” is a track for those who remain resilient in the face of a storm. He uses the idea of rain as a symbol of renewal. The singer insinuates that though times may become challenging, if you continue to persevere, it can lead to new beginnings and you may see signs of personal growth. “I feel like I’m one in a million / A man against the mass / Then it rains, it’s strange, I ain’t complaining / Let it wash away the past”
