“Cool Winds” is the lead-off single from Storytell’s forthcoming full-length release, the 10-song album “Earth, Love, and Roses.” The song sets the album’s tone in its first verse, giving the listener a blessing while presaging how the album will unfold:

Cool winds rule your heavens
And cool breezes blow your soul
And while you wander through forever
In sad song river starts to flow.

“Cool Winds” represents an evolution in Storytell’s sound from its debut EP “Sea of Soul.” The blog Various Small Flames said of the song “[t]here’s a palpable sense of invention here, and one which builds with real confidence to make for a swaggering sound…we hope it gains a big audience.”
