VIDEO: Cheyenne Marie Mize Performs "Waiting" for Into the Woods

Singer/songwriter Cheyenne Marie Mize recently performed an intimate take of her song "Waiting" for the folks at Into the Woods as a part of their "Far From Home" series, which "documents out-of-town bands passing through Portland." Mize was invited to perform at The Good Mod, a mid-century modern furniture warehouse hidden within industrial Southeast Portland. With just an electric guitar, a looping pedal, and her gorgeous, sweetly delicate vocals, this solo performance of "Waiting" is almost stunning in its hushed simplicity and intimacy. Mize performs with such personal inflection, leaving you feeling as though you're the only one in the room and the only one getting the chance to see her perform.

Of "Waiting," Mize says, "The song's about the idea that you don't know if you're going to get something that you really really want, and it's always in the back of your mind. You might try and distract yourself, but it's always kind of right there under the surface."
