Canadian Roots Icon Lori Yates Bids Farewell to Grief with Heartfelt New Single "3 Sisters"
Normally, when an artist writes a song about the sudden and unexpected death of her mother and titles it “3 Sisters,” you can logically assume she’s paying tribute to the brave, bereaved children who have been left behind. But Canadian roots icon Lori Yates is up to something more personal and metaphorical on her latest single: The sisters she’s referencing here are the feelings of danger, heartache and sorrow that swoop down like vultures in the wake of life’s greatest losses. And her message to them—delivered one-by-one and with equal vehemence—is that she’d really like them to go.
