Tears Can Heal is Andy Smythe’s Single Out Now
From the first note, the lullaby-like intro with its bright, uplifting tones contrasts sharply with the weight of the lyrics.
This contrast draws the listener into a suspended reality, bridging the gap between the tangible and the metaphysical.
The song gradually builds in intensity, with a melody so evocative it resonates deeply, speaking directly to the soul.
The highlight of the track is the instrumental break, where a string solo adds a layer of poetic expression that elevates the song’s emotional impact.
Then there is the bridge and as the music gently fades, a soft mandolin takes over, preserving the song’s nostalgic mood.
Tears Can Heal beautifully blends the essence of the ’80s with a modern sensibility, showcasing Andy Smythe’s talent for composing timeless music that is bale to move deep emotions.
It’s a fantastic piece that demonstrates his ability to create profound musical moments.

Enchanting!
This is a song about the memory of friendship. It tells the story of a dear friend that I lost some years ago. I’ve collaborated with another friend, composer Chris Payne to produce the arrangement. Our friendship also spans 20+ years, so I guess this song is a celebration of both the memory friendship and current friendship.
Andy Smythe is a British singer/songwriter who has been active on the London folk scene since the ‘90s. London, however, isn’t Smythe’s hometown; he is originally from Shropshire, England. But London is where Smythe developed a small but enthusiastic following. Known for his reflective, contemplative lyrics, Smythe has a variety of influences — some British, some American, some neither British nor American. In the British media, Smythe has often been compared to the late Nick Drake, and other valid comparisons have included Donovan, Tim Buckley, and Van Morrison (who is neither British nor American but rather, Irish). Smythe has cited Bob Dylan as an inspiration, and in fact, there are echoes of the seminal Dylan in some of Smythe’s lyrics (although Dylan has a rougher, harder, grittier vocal style, while Smythe’s expressive singing tends to be on the gentle side). At times, Smythe incorporates Celtic elements, which explains why he has enjoyed some favorable coverage in the Irish media.
