Frank Renfordt, the creative force behind The Cumberland River Project, delivers a heartfelt tribute to resilience and commitment in his song “When The Wind Picks Up.” Written as a wedding gift for his daughter Megan, the song captures the spirit of devotion and courage that couples embark upon together. Renfordt enlisted the talents of Easton Driver on vocals, Andrew Timothy on guitar, and Simon Röll on drums to bring the track’s full band arrangement to life, adding a powerful, modern country-rock vibe inspired by Nashville acts like Luke Combs.
“When The Wind Picks Up” opens with a warm, resonant vocal performance over gritty guitar riffs, building a sense of both intimacy and intensity. The arrangement grows as the drums and shimmering cymbals join in, giving the song a full-bodied sound that pulses with emotion. Driver’s vocals are comforting yet passionate, conveying a sense of strength and vulnerability as he sings about facing life’s struggles together.
The song’s chorus is undeniably catchy, with a dynamic hook that encourages listeners to sing along. The lyrics, “You and I have been hurt before / Did you think we can’t make it this time?” convey resilience and determination, underscoring the theme of unwavering support even when the going gets tough.
“When The Wind Picks Up” is a powerful track that balances modern country and rock elements, creating a memorable anthem for anyone who values resilience and commitment in relationships. Listen to it on Spotify.
