Georgia Harmer returns with her first new song since her 2022 debut album Stay In Touch. “Can We Be Still” spotlights the Toronto singer-songwriter's eloquent storytelling with expressive grace. A dedication to friendship, Georgia’s indelible voice envelopes the softly-strummed song with urgency and poise, singing “Now do you understand / I don’t have another plan / Now is the time to say / What it is you’ve been dreaming of saying.”
“‘Can We Be Still’ is about lifelong best-friendship and striving to protect it from the inevitable changes that come with time,” says Georgia. “It’s about having a shared vision of the future and a desire to preserve it, to see the plan for ever-lasting closeness through.”
The single arrives with a video shot and directed by Talvi Faustmann at Rosedale Heights School Of The Arts in Toronto, revisiting a place where both Georgia and Talvi certainly did some growing up. “I went back to my high school eight years after graduating to film a music video for a song I wrote about having one plan for my future,” she says. “To never lose touch with my best friend, and to keep doing what I love most. It was like I was sending a message to my teen self and letting her know – it’s working.”

MORE ABOUT GEORGIA HARMER
With wisdom and poise, Georgia Harmer arrived with the 2022 release of her acclaimed debut album Stay In Touch, an emotionally resonant collection of songs that articulates the ways in which even the most fleeting experiences can forge bonds between strangers, create families out of friends, and one by one form the joys and sorrows that make up a life. Spanning intimate folk and strummy country to sophisticated jazz and pop-kissed rock, Harmer and her band created musical landscapes that live up to the lyrical richness of her songwriting, and quickly established herself as a voice to transcend eras and genres with her ability to purely enchant. Georgia’s unforgettable voice is singular, gliding along a range of emotion from soft distorted rockers to bucolic ballads with windswept ease. Already a seasoned performer, Georgia has toured alongside City And Colour, Broken Social Scene, Bahamas, The Paper Kites, Haley Blais, Dan Mangan, Basia Bulat, Tim Baker, The Ballroom Thieves, and more.
