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.
"Pool", the opening track of Samia 's 2020 debut album The Baby , is a haunting and introspective introduction that sets the emotional tone for the rest of the project. It's a slow burn that focuses on fleeting intimacy in such a vulnerable way. While the rest of The Baby is more varied stylistically, "Pool" beautifully represents so many of the themes that recur throughout the rest of the album. The Baby feels thoughtfully bookended by "Pool" and the closing track, "Is There Something in the Movies?" as well. "Pool" opens with her grandmother, also named Samia, singing a song she used to sing to her as a child, which is such a deeply personal and grounding way to begin the album. In a track-by-track breakdown of The Baby , Samia told Flood Magazine that "Pool" is about "hiding away with someone in a stranger's house in Texas for a few days, spending most of it staring at the moon from the pool, knowing fu...
"Wait A Minute!" by Willow is such a captivating and introspective song, one that continues to stand out as a highlight from her early work. This song effortlessly blends experimental neo-funk sounds with emotional complexity. Wanting to stop and reflect for a moment amidst a chaotic situation, "Wait A Minute!" gives honest insight into her thoughts on growing up, falling in love and exploring her spirituality. The ethereal and atmospheric production, paired with her engaging vocal delivery really makes this song so memorable. "Hold on, wait a minute, feel my heart's intention, oh," she sings in the chorus, "Hold on, wait a minute, I left my consciousness in the sixth dimension, left my soul in his vision, let's go get it, oh, oh". This song was featured as the thirteenth track on her 2015 debut album Ardipithecus, but it didn't start gaining traction until around 2019 as one of the first notable songs to go viral on TikTok, which a...
"No One Noticed" by The Marías explores themes of longing for human connection and isolation in the digital age, while yearning for someone to finally see her the way a lost love once did. Lamenting for the past and what could have been she sings, "No one tried to read my eyes," she sings in the second verse, "No one but you, wish it weren't true". This song poignantly captures the distinct sense of isolation that comes from being surrounded by room full of people, yet still feeling completely alone, as well as the notion that others may never fully grasp the depth of your inner thoughts and struggles in those moments. It was featured as the eleventh track on The Marías' 2024 sophomore album, Submarine , which was one of my favorite new music discoveries from last year. "I remember just waking up one morning and sitting on my bed grabbing the guitar and just starting to play. The windows were open the birds, were chirping like it was just a...
Lizzy McAlpine 's "Spring Into Summer" is a beautifully written reflection on the cyclical nature of relationships, using the changing seasons as a powerful metaphor for love, regret, and personal growth. The song captures both the melancholy act of letting go and the hope that comes with stepping into a new season of life, embracing change despite knowing that the cycle will inevitably continue. It signals change after the darkness of winter, carrying a sense of warmth and renewal as summer approaches. At the same time, it carries this anticipation that the fall will eventually come again. As always, Lizzy's intimate storytelling shines through in the lyricism, beautifully depicting the emotional transitions that this song represents. "Spring into summer, and the winter's gone, I try to hold on to it, but the current's too strong, somebody finds me in the state I am, love you like I mean it when I know I can't," she sings in the opening lines. I...
Happy Halloween! In today's post I'm going to be sharing a few of my favorite celebrity costumes from this year! Enjoy! Credit: Kevin Mazur // Getty Images for Casamigos My favorite from this year was Harry Styles dressed as Elton John at the Casamigos Halloween Party. He wore a custom Gucci Dodgers uniform to replicate what Elton John wore in 1975 during his show at Dodgers Stadium. This costume actually suits Harry's style so well, I hope he wears more outfits like this on his next next tour !

They have had so many iconic fashion moments together and this is one of my absolute favorites!
