about

Travis Bretzer emerges in 2019 with a new addition to his catalog of off-kilter bedroom pop. The track in question is “Love Is of Me.” An autobiographical account of a friendship lost. In the throes of longing, Bretzer recounts his past actions and missteps. The tune begins with nervous speculation but eventually arrives at a pivotal realization. You get what you give. These inherent truths are the bedrock of Bretzer’s new LP “Renaissance” which examines the process of rebirth and revitalization. Something Bretzer knows all too well after being sidelined with the autoimmune disorder Crohn’s disease. For much of his twenties Travis lost weight, lost hair, at points he was gaunt and frail. Bretzer had to come to terms with his mortality in an inescapable way. Luckily he was fortunate to be treated by a series of very skilled physicians and has been steadily regaining his health. With the new LP on the way slated for fall of 2019, It looks like this very well could be a return to form for Travis.





A note from Travis:



“Hey, thanks for taking the time to read this. I wrote this song over the course of a couple of months. It was inspired by a friend of mine who moved away.



In the past, I’ve had the opportunity to record in studios but the vibe was never quite right. I decided to outfit my rickety old house with a man cave of sorts where I can make my tunes and play Nintendo. I prefer recording at home so much more. I like to imagine I’m preparing a home-cooked meal when I record. Full of love and care. It ain’t perfect but it gets the job done lol.



I wanted this song to sound a bit like Steely Dan and Lynyrd Skynyrd mixed with Neil Young, Al Perkins, and John Mayer. I’ll see ya real soon with another track. Cheers.

lyrics

Been a while since I felt whole again

Been a while since you filled that hole, my friend

Feels like we’re at the end

What can I do?





Way back, so much younger then

Now I’m just another faith weather friend

Lone miles and a heart to mend

What can I do?

Guess I’ll leave it up to you



Love is of me

Love is of we

Know that what you give

Will be what you receive



Know I left when I should have stayed

Now I’m here so I’ll just sit and wait

Realize I slipped away

What can I do?



I never let those feelings go

By my side through the ebb and flow

Burnt from the flame we’re bound to grow

I’ll breathe it in and take it slow



Love is of me

Love is of we

Know that what you give

Will be what you receive
