A song about love, choices, and emotional maturity. Peningo Rider’s new single, ‘Love Ain’t Everything,’ is all about that in ol’ Americana style. The lyrics are simple and yet feel like arrows directed to the heart. The track is penned as a personal conversation with one’s beloved, in which they discuss their desires and the paths they have chosen. The simple line”Love ain’t everything, but it’s a real good start” unleashes the mind to so many perspectives. And then with the lines, “Someone told me long ago, you just got to play your part…Cuz if you don’t choose wisely, you’ll be alone with your foolish heart”, is simply so honest that it hurts!

Peningo Reider’s Eddie Pellon and Russ Davis started the band as a teacher and a student. One guitar lesson and the storyteller within then jumped right out and ‘Love Ain’t Everything’ was born.

In a true Americana, indie-folk style, Peningo Riders crafts a smooth melody that is calm and reflective. Musically, the song is lyric-heavy and flows with the emotions of the relational poetry. It does not feel like a song of heartbreak, but it feels more like traversing the path of clear communication when two hearts choose to walk on separate paths. Initially, the line, “Love ain’t everything”, feels harsh and pointy, but slowly, as the remainder of the line, “it is a good place to start”, seeps in, it widens the perspective through which Love is being perceived.
