Loss can be a very difficult thing to talk about.
It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to feel grief. It’s okay to profoundly miss somebody.
“Every Single Day” is about the quiet emptiness that envelopes your home when someone you love is no longer there. Following the passing of Ashley’s mom from cancer, we rewrote some of the lyrics to better reflect her father’s perspective – what it’s like to live alone in the house you shared with your life partner.
Most of “Every Single Day” was produced/recorded by us at Timon’s home studio. We were lucky enough to work with a really talented string-quartet whose playing added so much emotion and nostalgia to the song.
Our friend Steve Krecklo played lap-steel which provided a beautiful and ethereal layer that really elevated “Every Single Day” for us. It was amazing to be surrounded by musicians that understood the story we wanted to tell.
We write songs that are deeply personal and meaningful to us with the hope that they will resonate with you, the listener. We hope this song helps anyone going through any type of loss.
