We had the distinct honor of recently checking out the brand new single “Mercy” from Oregon based duo Alma Mater (Spoiler Alert: it’s fantastic. )

We fell in love with the sweet sounds of Alma Mater with their single “Fading Moon” Their new single “Mercy “ is an absolutely beautifully crafted song . We were completely awestruck from the first moment we heard it .

Alma Mater is Dirk Sullivan and Andrew Paul Woodworth. The two are veterans of the Los Angeles and of the Portland, Oregon music scenes. Sullivan was signed to Interscope Records with his band Love On Ice and Woodworth fronted Elephant Ride, signed to Sony Records. They have since spent two decades recording and touring in various projects.

“Mercy” is a heartfelt song that is all about showing compassion and love to the world . Andrew comments the song is reminder “To be kinder and to be softer when reacting to people who confuse me. Showing another human compassion and patience and empathy is such a soulful way for me to experience pride.”

You are hit with so much emotion with this song that it almost takes your breath away. Lyrically, “Mercy” is brilliantly written. We were so excited that the lyrics are included in the video because, they most certainly need to be seen .
