Diyet & The Love Soldiers: Give Me A Reason

ree


Is it the times we live in? Or the roller coaster of humanity? Are we in free fall and can’t find the cord? There is a tension and a giddy rage that is barely contained, and it ebbs and flows in all communities and in all countries – we all feel it. There have been moments when I find myself consumed with everything that is happening in the world and I become paralyzed. I want to scream, I want to march, I want to rattle common sense into brains, I want to slow down, I want to consume less and help more, but there is so much to do and one lifetime is not enough. How can we help each other to stand up, speak with good intentions, show compassion and build a wave so strong that we turn the tides?” Says Diyet van Lieshout when sharing the motivation behind the latest single from Diyet & The Love Soldiers. “I’m open to suggestions”.


Give Me A Reason is the latest single from their upcoming album, Seeds of Dreaming to be released in September, 2025. Seeds of Dreaming spans the width of Americana music with a focus on lyrical stories taking the listener on a journey to Diyet’s roots. Each song rooted in her life in Kluane and her experience as an Indigenous woman walking in two worlds. Inspired by vast landscapes, clashing and embracing cultures, Diyet's heartfelt lyrics paint a picture of wildness, truth, hope, reconciliation, history and the community that surrounds her.
