'“What Comes After" is a song about entering a new relationship while anticipating its eventual demise, perhaps because past experiences have led me to believe that relationships don’t last. They all go to shit eventually. It’s like adopting a new puppy and thinking about the fact that someday it’s going to die and you are going to have to mourn that death. It’s pretty morbid and maybe even self-manifesting - to expect something to fail even when it shows promising success.”'
“Coming Home For Christmas" is a medley of an original song of mine and Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song”. I wanted to challenge myself to write an original Christmas song that felt honest and personal and not cliche while also paying homage to one of the great Holiday songs.
The Holiday season for me is about a lot of different things. It is a time to connect with family and friends, for coming together. It is a time for cooking and cuddling and building fires. But most importantly, it is a time for giving - to be of service to those around you and to help the less fortunate. And it is no coincidence that this is the time of year for that, because the winter is hard and cold and barren. Those without means could freeze or starve without the kindness and generosity of the more privileged. It is a time to give the most precious thing we have and that is time itself - to give and expect nothing in return.”' - Mitchel Evan |
