"Everywhere, Everything" is about accepting endings, not as a source of sadness or despair but as a natural part of life's cycle. While acknowledging impermanence, the song radiates a sense of optimism and gratitude. Even as their bodies decompose and return to dust, Noah Kahan's love for his sweetheart will endure, his hand forever entwined with hers. "Everywhere, Everything" is the seventh track from Kahan's third studio album, Stick Season. He began writing the record in his hometown of Strafford, Vermont, in 2020 during the COVID-19 quarantine. This fits into the apocalyptic feel of the song. Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh It's been a long year Would we survive in a horror movie Kohan feels overwhelmed and exhausted by the events of 2020. He questions his own ability to cope with the challenges they are facing. We didn't know that the sun was collapsing 'Til the seas rose and the buildings came crashing The lyric alludes to how many of us were oblivious to the spread of the pandemic, realizing its impact only when it was too late. Kanan co-produced "Everywhere, Everything" with Gabe Simon, a producer, songwriter, and musician from Nashville who has worked with artists like Lana Del Rey, James Bay and Jessie Murph. He collaborated with Noah Kahan on Stick Season, helping create a more mature and diverse sound. Gabe Simon played all the instruments on "Everywhere, Everything" (piano, percussion, drums, electric guitar, baritone guitar, bass, banjo). Noah Kahan teamed up with singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams to release a new version of "Everywhere, Everything" on December 1, 2023. For this new collaborative rendition, Kahan takes the first verse while Abrams sings the second. It is the fourth Stick Season track re-recorded as a duet, following "She Calls Me Back" with Kacey Musgraves, "Call Your Mom" with Lizzy McAlpine, and "Northern Attitude" with Hozier.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh It's been a long year Would we survive in a horror movie? Doubt it, we're too slow moving We trust everyone we meet Two bodies Riddled with scars from our preteens Intertwine in a car's dirty backseat Stare at a drive-in screen We didn't know that the sun was collapsing 'Til the seas rose and the buildings came crashing We cried oh Everywhere, everything, wanna love you 'Til we're food for the worms to eat 'Til our fingers decompose Keep my hand in yours Everywhere, everything, wanna love you 'Til we're food for the worms to eat 'Til our fingers decompose Keep my hand in yours Ooh, ooh Drive slowly I know every route in this county Maybe that ain't such a bad thing I'll tell where not to speed It's been a long year And all of our book's pages dog-eared We write out the ends on our palms, dear Then forget to read We didn't know that the sun was collapsing 'Til the seas rose and the buildings came crashing We cried oh Everywhere, everything, wanna love you 'Til we're food for the worms to eat 'Til our fingers decompose Keep my hand in yours Everywhere, everything, wanna love you 'Til we're food for the worms to eat 'Til our fingers decompose Keep my hand in yours Everywhere, everything, I wanna love you 'Til we're food for the worms to eat 'Til our fingers decompose I'll keep my hand in yours
