Alyssa Joseph Drops New Lyric Video For 'Leaning'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rising indie-rock singer Alyssa Joseph has released a beautiful lyric video for her song "leaning", which can be found on her critically acclaimed "alive" EP that dropped last month. "leaning" describes the period after she graduated college when she was forced to move back home with her parents in New Jersey and face judgement from the world while she longed to move to Nashville. The lyrics candidly expose the difficulties young millennials go through post-grad, as she declares "all my money goes to student loans and the god-damn government".

The lyric video, which Joseph recorded while driving around Nashville, takes the song full circle. Showcasing the lyrics in the video allows viewers to understand the meaning behind this vulnerable song on a deeper level. When she sings, "they say it's strange that I'm still leaning, but I'm still leaning" she is being honest that even as an adult she doesn't have it all figured out and it's okay to ask for help. The video showcases the understated beauty of "Music City" and offers a sense of hope that dreams can still come true. Even though Joseph was stuck in New Jersey living with her parents when the song was written, her dream of moving to Nashville materializes in the video.

Alyssa Joseph is a thriving singer-songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee. She has toured through Texas and up and down the Northeast, playing at Sofar Sound shows in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Louisville.
