"Everywhere Everything" by Noah Kahan // Song Review


Originally released on his 2022 album Stick Season, Noah Kahan's "Everywhere, Everything" is set against a looming apocalyptic backdrop, yet it still carries a distinct warmth and serves as a reminder that even if the world is falling apart, there's still something sacred about choosing to love anyway. "We didn't know that the sun was collapsing, 'til the seas rose and the buildings came crashing," he sings in the first pre-chorus.

This song is grounded in Noah's signature folk sound, with such a sweet and nostalgic tone. It also holds an inherent sadness, but so much sincerity and hope at the same time. "Everywhere, everything, I wanna love you 'til we're food for the worms to eat," he sings in the chorus. "'Til our fingers decompose, keep my hands in yours". It's such a profound lament on life, love, and death. It captures both the fragility of being human, as well as the eternal strength of loving someone so deeply. 

There's a warmth and familiarity woven throughout too, especially in lines like, "Drive slowly, I know every route in this county, maybe that ain't such a bad thing, I'll tell you where not to speed." It captures a distinct intimacy in the smallest, most ordinary ways, which is where Noah's songwriting always shines the brightest.

In 2023 as a part of the re‑released deluxe album, Stick Season (We'll All Be Here Forever), Noah introduced several new collaborations and reimagined duets with artists like Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, and more. "Everywhere, Everything" was re‑envisioned with Gracie Abrams, and that collaboration brought the song to life in such a new, beautiful way. The duet offered a new perspective and added layer of emotion to the track, which made the timeless message even more powerful. 

"Everywhere, Everything" works so naturally as a duet, turning the verses into a conversational ode to love, with both of their voices echoing the same devotion back and forth.
