Havilah Tower’s Moment Of Clarity

With "Open Wide", Havilah Tower offers a stirring and introspective meditation on what happens when the life we’ve worked so hard to build turns out to be not quite what we needed.

It’s a gentle unraveling, not with anger or regret, but with honesty, clarity and a willingness to see things for what they truly are. The result is one of Tower’s most resonant works to date.

Set in her signature cinematic folk-pop style, Open Wide begins quietly, almost as if we have walked in on a moment of realization mid-thought. Her voice leads us through the internal dialogue of someone who has spent years chasing ideals, only to find the truest kind of fulfillment waiting much closer to home.

The production reflects that same restraint. Built in collaboration with a globally distributed team, including UK producer David A. Griffiths and Hollywood engineer Adam Freeman, "Open Wide" is rich in sound texture without ever becoming overwhelming.

Acoustic textures, subtle ambient touches and space between the notes give the lyrics room to land.

What makes Open Wide so powerful is the way that it questions the life we’ve built - it’s about the courage it takes to admit we may have missed something important along the way.

This is a song for anyone who’s ever wondered if the life they imagined might be crowding out the one they’re meant to live.
