My new music video, "New Year," premiered at Rainbow Rodeo last week, and is now up on my YouTube channel!
"Marian Runk takes a cautiously optimistic approach with her meditative video 'New Year.' The song tumbles off of Runk's tongue like a minuet, an almost stream-of-consciousness account of a small moment that ends up revealing a large impact."

Hey yall!
Your melancholy Christmas song has arrived.
It's about letting go and trying to hang on to the beauty at the same time.
The unreal feeling of Christmas time in California, almost like they're faking their way through the holiday. And sometimes I've felt like I had to fake my way through the holidays.
Grief and heart ache don't take a Christmas vacation. And for most of us, they make themselves rather cozy, in fact, around the fire.
It's ok to be a little melancholy in the winter. Tis a season.
Our latest single ‘Sweet and the Burn’ from our upcoming album ‘Over Again’ (out May 1st 2026) came out of Friday the 5th of September!
Take a listen, let us know what you think!
Lyrics:
Have you seen the old town
Itʼs like a record with the needle down
You can think youʼre playing it
The more you do the more it skips
And youʼll be begging for another turn
The sweet comes with the burn
Instrumental
Walking on a knife edge
Wondering why Iʼm not dead yet
“Cause itʼs something that you canʼt refuse
I paid Charlie just to be excused
And Iʼll be begging for another turn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the…
Burn
Instrumental
If the liquor doesnʼt do me in
It will hold me like an old friend
Dancing with me all night
And tell me that itʼs all right
And Iʼm still begging for another turn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the…
Burn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the burn
Itʼs a lesson that I never learn, yeah
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the burn
The sweet comes with the…

A heartfelt ballad that honors the quiet dignity of rural life and the memory of a loved one gone too soon, “Baling Hay” provides the lead single from Elexa Dawson's third studio album, Stay Put. “Baling Hay” is a tribute to Elexa’s Grandpa, a humble, hardworking soul whose tractor-greasy grace lives on in memory and song. With vivid pastoral imagery and an intimate vocal delivery, rooted in folk tradition and country soul, it’s a song that will be memorable for any music lover from rural North America.
