Tara Nome Doyle’s latest release, “The Overgrown Path”, radiates the same mystery and wonder that defined its creation. Written in 2020, Tara recalls, “I don’t even remember writing this song. It feels like it appeared to guide me—a gift from a truer version of myself. In moments of doubt, I’ve often turned to it for solace, and its presence in my life continues to feel deeply meaningful and inspiring.”

The song serves as a love letter to those who dare to forge their own path. “It’s a reminder that nobody knows the right way,” Tara reflects, “so we might as well follow the one that makes us feel most alive.”

Tara’s personal journey resonates with the track’s message. “Growing up, I didn’t have any musicians or professional artists around me, and I think that’s why it took me so long to embrace the idea of making music my career,” she shares. “I constantly questioned myself, feeling like an outsider in a world of performers, music geeks, and virtuosos. Yet, I kept returning to this path—drawn by the songs and a life that reveals itself with every step I dare to take.”

The recording process for “The Overgrown Path” was as serendipitous as its origins. While visiting collaborator Federico Albanese in Northern Italy, what began as a demo unexpectedly became the final version. “There was something so magical about the recording,” Tara says. “You can hear the birds singing through the open balcony door. It just captured the lightness and charm of the track perfectly.”

A reflection on intuition, courage, and the beauty of uncertainty, “The Overgrown Path” is an ode to trusting your instincts and embracing the unknown.
