If The World Would Just End

Save Me
These Four Walls
"HOW MANY ANGELS? is a musical gift of hope and healing in the face of despair. Kylers offering is a blessing to anyone who has lost a loved one.
What is truly unforgettable about singer-songwriter Kyler is her ability to peel back all the layers, holding nothing back. Her voice holds you captivated while the raw honesty of her writing brings you to your knees. In a bold voice Kyler reaches out to share her very personal journey through hope, loss and healing on her new EP produced by Richard Oliver Furch, HOW MANY ANGELS?
"With this EP I hope to forge a silver lining from a time when there really was none" says Kyler of the songs inspired by the experience of losing her mother to cancer. "I have found great solace and healing in these songs and I feel that others who have had similar experiences can as well." Half of the proceeds from the EP benefit Triangle Hospice, a hospice organization in her hometown in North Carolina. Triangle Hospice will be working with Kyler to reach those who have also experienced the loss of a loved one.
HOW MANY ANGELS? takes the listener on a journey through emotions associated with loss with the intention of providing a release, "a watershed for all the times youve had to hold it together when all you wanted to do was fall apart." Kyler begins the journey with "If the World Would Just End" and the idea of wanting to freeze time before her worst fears can become a reality. In "Lump", Kyler compares the lump in her throat to the source of her familys pain, cancer, and faces the possibility of losing her mom. "Im not ready to lose you/ seems like weve just begun/ id give anything just to see you well again." In the aftermath of her moms death, she confronts God in the EPs most emotionally raw and angry track, "Why?": "why must we fade into the darkness from which we came/ why must we pay for our love with an emptiness in its place/ why did we fall from your state of grace?" "Save Me" is a glimpse of the tragedy through her fathers eyes as he faces life alone. The EP closes with "These Four Walls," a simple and stunning ballad about the empty space that will always remain in her heart.
