The artist has also shared the video for "Sand Dollars." Watch it below.
"I wrote this song about a day or two after my dad died, when I was walking on the beach and stepped onto the sand to find thousands of sand dollars sprawled across the beach," the artist explains. "It was the first time I connected an event with my dad after he died, and gave me hope that he was still with me. I was reminded of this memory while working with Dewain Whitmore, Julian Bell, and Colin Brittain, and we decided to bring it to life. The outro lyrics were written a few years back in a session I had with Matthew Pauling. We were working in a similar chord progression and I felt the message at the end was a nice way to tie the whole journey up."
Noll has quickly risen in the ranks as in-demand songwriter. Check out this playlist of songs he has worked on for The Jonas Brothers, Nessa Barrett, Illenium, 5 Seconds of Summer, and more.
American Teeth Release "Green Thumb"
American Teeth, the sonic alter ego of Elisha Noll, has shared "Green Thumb."
The track is the latest in a flurry of highly personal and deeply impactful tracks from American Teeth. In the summer, he shared "Hospital" and "Waiting Room," two new vulnerable tracks that told the story of his complicated relationship with and losing his father.
American Teeth's latest release "Green Thumb" digs deep into the heart of self-therapy through the lens of gardening. With a rich family history rooted in farming and a personal connection to cultivating life, this track is a moving testament to the power of nature to heal the soul. "Green Thumb" blossoms with emotion, offering listeners a musical sanctuary for growth and reflection.
"Growing up, my dad always spent time working in the garden," American Teeth says. "I would join him sometimes, and noticed it was one of his outlets for self-care. A form of meditation. I fill my home with plants, so I'm a self-proclaimed green thumb. I feel like it's one way I connect with him now that he's gone."
