Traveling across the globe exploring four separate solo careers, the four members of Early Winters have gathered sonic souvenirs to share with each other and their listeners. Made up of U.K.-bred singer Carina Round, Canadian artist Justin Rutledge, L.A. producer/musician Dan Burns and Zac Rae of the band Pedestrian, the formation of the band started as an informal writing session that blossomed into an expansive musical partnership.
Justin, Dan and Carina got together to write a track that led to an instant placement of "Turn Around" on the hit CBS show Ghost Whisperer. After adding in Zac to complete the quartet, Early Winters was born. It wasn't long before their songs were popping up online and added into heavy rotation on KCRW, CBC, and CJTR. They shared their poignant tunes for the first time live last year in Canada in front of packed houses opening for Justin.
Since all four were on the road and in the studio, in order to finish their debut album they had to get creative. Continuing to write songs via video chat and Skype, they finished the album from each corner of the world: Carina from her home bases in the UK and Los Angeles, Justin from Toronto, Dan from Tokyo where he was recording and performing with the legendary Japanese artist Utada, and Zac from New Zealand where he was recording with Tim Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House).
Vanishing Act
Early Winters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People at the station
Wired and insatiable(?)
Video game(?)
Where do you go to
Hear what's in your head?
Where do you go to hear yourself?
Hear yourself think
Showed up in a spacesuit
Full of electricity
Looking for a golden key
Key to it all
Where do you go to
Hear what's in your head?
Where do you go to hear yourself?
Hear yourself think
Where do you go to
Hear what's in your head?
Where do you go to hear yourself?
Where do you go to
Hear what's in your head?
Where do you go to hear yourself?
Say
Say we were abducted
High over the trees and lakes???
Vanishing act
Vanishing act
The lyrics to Early Winters's song Vanishing Act seem to be a reflection on the search for inner peace and the struggle to find a place where one can truly hear themselves think. The opening lines of the song suggest a fast-paced and busy environment, with people at the station wired and insatiable. This could be interpreted as a commentary on modern society and the constant stimulation we are exposed to, which can be overwhelming and distracting. The line "video game" adds to this theme, suggesting that we are constantly on the lookout for the next thrill or source of entertainment.
The chorus, "Where do you go to hear what's in your head? Where do you go to hear yourself?" poses a question that is both universal and deeply personal. It speaks to the need for introspection and an understanding of our own thoughts and emotions. The imagery of the person showing up in a spacesuit "full of electricity" and looking for a golden key is intriguing and mysterious, suggesting that perhaps this journey inward is seen as a quest for self-discovery, and that the answers we seek are hidden in some way.
The final lines of the song, "Say we were abducted high over the trees and lakes, vanishing act" leave the listener with a sense of ambiguity and uncertainty. The song seems to suggest that the search for inner peace is a journey without a clear destination, and that the answers we find may not be what we expect.

I remember finding this by accident years ago.
It's been far too long since I listened to this masterpiece...

2023 and I'm back on yet another Early Winters kick. Such an under-appreciated and under-exposed band. I have such fond memories of watching them perform in NYC.

This is incredible. I've never felt music the way I do when I listen to you guys. I don't know what to say except thank you for making music. I hope you know you touch people with your music. Depression and anxiety manage most my life and its the worst its ever been since losing a friend last month and dealing with so many hardships... Therapy hasn't helped. Thoughts, nad thoughts get to me at times. Just wanted you guys to kmow that I happened to just stumble upon this song and it took me out of the dark place I was at. Thank you for this. Music really is its own language. And yours heals the soul. Keep it up and do what you love.
