Juno-nominated, acclaimed singer-songwriter Lisa Hartt returns with “Quiet Spaces”, a soul-stirring new single from her forthcoming EP Hiraeth. Following the hauntingly beautiful “Nobody’s Wife”, this new song deepens the journey of love, loss, and spiritual connection that Hart began after the death of her beloved husband Michael in 2022.
“The lyric for “Nobody’s Wife” came to me fully formed out of a dream in those early nightmarish days when I still awoke at 2 am, thinking I heard Michael coughing or moving about, and then realizing in a moment of clarity that he is gone.”
With elegant lyricism and a voice both luminous and grounded, “Quiet Spaces” Explores the transformation of grief into presence. Rather than seeking closures, Hartt invites listeners to dwell in the stillness where love remains. “In the quiet spaces, I still feel you breathe”, she sings- not in memory, but in a living resonant way.

Produced in collaboration with composer, Jonas Gideon and producer, Kevin Fisher, the track features gentle instrumentation, spacious arrangements, and a vocal performance that feels both intimate and transcendent. The song is a meditation on letting go, not in sorrow, but in reverence.
“The composer of Nobody’s Wife is the brilliant Jonas Gideon, a Swedish composer and musician who I met in Sweden at Lilla By Festivalen in 2023. We sang a tribute to my friend Ted Gärdestad along with the iconic Janne Schaffer on guitar. From there Jonas and I started to write, and “Nobody’s Wife” is the first track of our new EP of songs called “Hiraeth” by Lisa Hartt and Jonas Gideon. Following more ‘silver threads”, the next year at Lillaby Festivalen 2024, I met another friend of decades, Harold Payne, a gifted and iconic songwriter and singer who introduced me to Kevin Fisher, a California producer and singer songwriter. The three of us have created what I deem to be, the quintessential songs for the grief journey toward a new beginning and hope for the future.”
“Quiet Spaces” came from my realization that Michael was not lost to me,” says Hartt. “He simply changed forms. I hear him in the hush between breaths, in the ocean tide, in the light. It’s not about forgetting; it’s about living with a love that never lets you go.” Quiet Spaces is the second single from Hart’s 2025 EP Hiraeth, a collection of songs that reflect loving, longing, memory and rebirth. “Quiet Spaces” is available on all major streaming platforms now.
