Today, acclaimed songwriter Donovan Woods is sharing his new single, "All Mine". The song first appeared this past Sunday via the Strombo Show on CBC. “All Mine” is now is available now worldwide through iTunes, Spotify, and all other digital platforms.
In "All Mine", Woods discovers the elusive silver lining - that beautiful moment when you realize you've broken free of someone else's expectations. However, the optimistic single represents more than a new perspective for the musician. It breaks the familiar acoustic guitar with a layered production, yet it's unmistakably a Donovan Woods song - eloquent, disarmingly honest, and rich in details.
"'All Mine' is about the feeling of suddenly emerging from something that's been weighing you down," Woods explained. "Sometimes it's that first day of good health after an illness, sometimes it's after a breakup, sometimes it's just the first day of spring. I think one of the only purely good human feelings is relief - When something difficult ends or when something bad could have happened but didn't. That feeling is what I'm trying to capture here, that moment of realization that time is on your side again. You dodged a bullet and for a moment you feel free, clear-eyed, and ready to turn that passing hardship into something beautiful."

Recently, Woods was nominated for MusicRow Awards Song of the Year for “Leaving Nashville”. Recorded by Charles Kelley (Lady Antebellum) for his solo release, The New York Times and Rolling Stone hailed “Leaving Nashville” as “a beautiful song” and “stark, stunning ballad.” Woods’ version of the song is included on his 2016 Polaris Music Prize Listed album Hard Settle, Ain’t Troubled.
