Denison Witmer
Some songs leave little to the imagination, their intent as clear and simple as a stop sign. Others are packed with so much lyrical detail that a listener has no choice to but to bow to the songwriter’s wishes. Then there are the songs that are like doorways. They beckon you into a room with just a few pieces of well-placed furniture and plenty of atmosphere and vibration. They invite you to mix your own imagination with the songwriter’s to deepen the feeling of emotional resonance and personal connection.

In short, they’re interactive.

These are the kinds of songs you’ll find in abundance on Denison Witmer’s latest release The Ones Who Wait.

“I think of songwriting as building a space where truth can move inside,” says Witmer. “One of the things I’ve tried to work towards is how to write something that’s very personal to me, yet acknowledge that what it means to me might not be what it means to someone else. If I can create something that has multiple layers of meaning, and touch someone personally, that’s what I deem a success.”
