Radar Love: Vermont 20-Year-Old Musician Hans Williams

Hans Williams is a twenty-year-old songwriter from Vermont who is an artist to watch thanks to a number of heartfelt tracks and a promising future in music.

This is shown specifically in Williams’ 2020 mini-hit DIY single, “Body On My Shoulders”. This song was written about a tragic experience Williams had.

His latest track, “All Is Well,” is, in a sense, a follow-up to “Body on My Shoulders.”

Williams wrote the latter as a way to process the suicide of his roommate who Williams was the first to discover.

The newer track, he says, is about “the period of time before I felt ready to have those conversations – before I realized what real catharsis lay behind the barrier of opening up.”

“This song is about the fear and guilt I dealt with after the fact”, Williams explains in an Instagram post.

“The completion of this song in a way feels like I’ve let some of that guilt and fear go. I hope it can do the same for anyone dealing with tragedy”.

As a result, he is receiving many messages from individuals who connect with the song through a similar experience.

In response to these conversations, Williams notes that he feels validated upon hearing that others face similar tragedies and respond in the same way that he has.
