Evan
Bartels Sets Stunning TO MAKE YOU CRY EP for May 23

Track 'To Make You Cry' Out Now

NASHVILLE,
Tenn. – (April 11, 2025) – Singer/Songwriter Evan Bartels
announces his upcoming project To MAKE YOU CRY (Fan PRE-SAVE) releasing May 23
via Lost Highway Records, with the title track out now.
Bartels
showcases his profound storytelling on To Make You Cry, creating an
epic, cinematic landscape with little more than an acoustic guitar and vocals.
Recorded in his handmade cabin outside of Nashville, this stunning six-song set
not only takes notice of those people who are often unseen but also explores
the sacrifices and spirituality of a working musician.
“I
wanted these stories and songs to be very intimate, where it feels like you’re
hearing something through a wall, or you’re seeing something through a window,
and you perhaps shouldn’t be,” explains Bartels. “Also, I wanted it to feel
expansive. I wanted it to sound like the West, which is often stark and
intensely beautiful in a way that takes your breath away.”
On
the haunting title track written by Bartels with Bobby Tomberlin and Curt
Gibbs, 'To Make You Cry' encompasses the pain and turmoil relationships
endure over time and distance.
“‘To
Make You Cry’ isn’t just a song. It’s the ash that has come from the flame of
my life,” shares
Bartels. “It’s more than hope. It’s resolve. No matter how dark the night,
just make it to the morning.”

'To
Make You Cry' Lyrics
You
don’t have to tell me
The
words are written all over your face
Your
eyes show what your mouth could never say
The
sound of your heart as it breaks
The
pain of loving me is all it takes
To
make you cry
It’s
alright
It’ll
be alright
Just
hold on a little longer we’ll be fine
It’s
alright
It’ll
be alright
Let’s
just make it to the morning
And
I’ll tell you that I love you
In
case this is the last chance that I get
That
all the days with you have been my best
The
only thing in life that I regret
are
the nights when I was gone
I
never meant
To
make you cry
'To
Make You Cry' along with his recent release 'Lula'
prove why American Songwriter calls Bartels’ music “intense and
intimate” as he strives to tell distinctly human stories without judgment and
to truly see the unsung person where most passersby may wish to look
away.
Produced
by Bartels, Rico Csabai and Dave “Squirrel” Covell, the team captured the
performances for To Make You Cry live with only acoustic guitar and
vocal, allowing Bartels’ expressive baritone to set the tone for the six-song
project.
