Nan and Pop's house by MICHAEL DAY: Review

Michael Day’s latest single, “Nan and Pop’s House,” is a poignant journey down memory lane.

“Nan and Pop’s House” is filled with layers of guitar that ground the listener in a dreamy, nostalgic atmosphere. Released on Jan 5, this folk gem starts the year reflecting the singer’s roots. He gives a heartfelt reflection on childhood, family, and the profound impact grandparents can have on our lives.

The acoustic guitar serves as the backbone of the track. It consistently strums along the music with a steely glimmer. Dreamy electric guitar tunes add a layer of enchantment. Meanwhile, the rhythmic thumping of the drums propels the song forward, creating a sense of nostalgia that is both comforting and bittersweet. Trumpet parts romanticize the overall dreaminess to elevate our reminiscence. In the lyrics, Day shares anecdotes about his time spent at his grandparents’ house, touching on childhood fears and the comforting embrace of his Nana.

It’s heartbreaking that Day’s grandparents died before he was done with “Nan and Pop’s House” Even though, the people this song is for cannot listen to it, this profound loss has given the song a new depth.

With the song is coming up a music video this Jan 19, shot at Day’s grandparents’ property. The music video will visually guide you through lives once lived, now left in the graves. Directed and edited by Rhyan Lyndon-James and Todd Pegrum, the video will make it hard for the hardest of us to keep from crying.

Mark your calendars for January 19th, 2024, so. Until then, listen to Michael Day’s latest single and mull the wine of “Nan and Pop’s House” to perfection.
