Currently calling Nashville his home, Aron was born in Little Rock, AR, raised in St. Louis, MO, and moved to South Africa at the age of 16. Throughout his teen years, Aron learned how to play trumpet, bass trombone, and tuba through marching band and jazz ensemble. He began playing guitar by the age of 13, but didn’t start writing songs until he moved to South Africa where there was no symphonic band and was instead encouraged to sing and compose. Upon graduating high school, Aron moved to Nashville where he attended Lipscomb University. After graduating with degrees in Spanish, French and Marketing, Aron taught Spanish for two years before deciding to pursue music full time.
Recently Aron Wright was featured on Nashville’s local independent radio station Lightning 100’s “Local Artist Spotlight” with his song “Christmas Ain’t Christmas This Year.” As an artist, Aron has played with acts such as Matthew Perryman Jones, Jeremy Lister, The Features, Daniel Ellsworth, and Brooke Waggoner. Aron’s musical influences include Patty Griffin, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, Otis Redding, Maxwell, Sigur Ros, and Radiohead, to name a few. Aron’s future plans include promoting the new album through upcoming shows and touring.
Song for the waiting
Aron Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tonight to take me home
To lay me in my lover's bed
There's no good way
Tonight to make me okay
No voice to calm
My rainy head
It's not the miles
Or being alone
That tells my heart
She should be aching
The danger's in
The danger's in
The danger's in the waiting
I see my life well rehearsed
And it bores my mind
It's like a show
I've seen a thousand times before
I see my life in reverse and it scares me inside
I see all the ways
I should be giving more
It's not the road
It's not the miles
Or being alone
That tells my heart
She should be aching
The danger's in
The danger's in
The danger's in the waiting
The night is warm but lonely
I should be crawling in
You're fast asleep but I am waiting
The days are so unholy
You make me right again
The night is long
I'll be waiting
The lyrics of Aron Wright's song "Song for the Waiting" express the loneliness and fear that comes with waiting for a loved one. The opening lines "There's no straight road tonight to take me home, to lay me in my lover's bed" suggest a sense of displacement and the need for the comfort that comes from being close to one's significant other. However, the singer acknowledges that there is no easy way to alleviate the pain they feel, and there is no one to comfort their "rainy head."
The chorus "It's not the road, it's not the miles, or being alone, that tells my heart she should be aching, the danger's in the waiting," highlights the tension and unease that comes with waiting for someone. It is not the physical distance or being alone that is the issue, but the anticipatory anxiety that comes with waiting. The singer imagines their life in reverse, and this frightens them. They see all the ways they should be giving more, which suggests that there might be something unresolved in their relationship.
The final verse "The night is warm but lonely, I should be crawling in, you're fast asleep but I am waiting, the days are so unholy, you make me right again, the night is long, I'll be waiting" conjures images of the darkness and the resilience that comes with waiting. It is a reminder of how waiting can consume one's thoughts and steal away the joy of the present moment. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the image of "being right again" that suggests that the singer trusts their waiting will lead to a resolution.

There's no straight road
I don't have a clear path to home
Tonight to take me home
Currently, I don't have a way to reach my destination
To lay me in my lover's bed
I cannot meet my loved one yet
There's no good way
I'm struggling to find a solution
Tonight to make me okay
Currently, I'm feeling low, and I cannot find a way to feel better
No voice to calm
I cannot hear anyone's advice to soothe me
My rainy head
My thoughts and emotions are clouded and confused
It's not the road
The issue isn't the journey
It's not the miles
The number of miles that I have to travel isn't what's troubling me
Or being alone
The fact that I'm alone is not the root cause of my anxiety
That tells my heart
My emotions don't stem from my current situation
She should be aching
I should be feeling emotional pain
The danger's in
The risk lies in
The danger's in
The risk lies in
The danger's in the waiting
The agonizing uncertainty of waiting is the dangerous part
I see my life well rehearsed
I've lived my life following the same script repeatedly
And it bores my mind
It makes my mind dull and uninterested
It's like a show
It feels like I'm watching a performance
I've seen a thousand times before
I've lived through this same scenario multiple times previously
I see my life in reverse and it scares me inside
When I think about my past, it frightens me
I see all the ways
I can comprehend all the things
I should be giving more
I should do more than what I've been doing so far
The night is warm but lonely
Although the night is warm, and it should be peaceful, I still feel lonely
I should be crawling in
I should be in bed sleeping by now
You're fast asleep but I am waiting
You're sleeping while I'm still awake and waiting for something to happen
The days are so unholy
The days feel difficult and dark
You make me right again
You make everything feel okay again
The night is long
The night feels never-ending, almost infinite
I'll be waiting
I'll wait for what's coming, even if it takes longer than it should
