Werribee singer-songwriter Daniel Reeves says his latest single aims to spread positivity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
World Learning, which was released on August 27, has reached number five on the iTunes Country Songs Chart.
Reeves said he wrote the song about five years ago while on the road travelling for concerts and gigs.
H said he decided to release World Learning this year because it fits the theme of wanting to re-connect with friends and family during lockdown.
“It’s about all those support networks that are essential to us as human beings and I feel like I wrote it for a lot of my friends who were feeling a similar disconnect,” he said.
“It is relevant now, because if you have positive thoughts, then you’ll have positive things happening in your life and I know I have to own the decisions I have made.”
Reeves, whose album Defined came out in January, said he has been writing a lot of songs while at home during the pandemic.
He said fans have contacted him to say they have drawn strength from World Learning during the nation’s successive lockdowns.
“The messages I’ve received have been really positive, I think the song is perfect for now – I think it is really connecting with people,” he said.
Reeves said he has enjoyed playing his music on Facebook Live and doing radio interviews during lockdown, but he missed the energy of live shows.
World Learning is available on all digital music platforms.
