Folk/Americana singer-songwriter Sarah Vanderzon returns with her contemplative new single, “Oh My Child." The track explores the bittersweet reality of growing up, capturing the moment when the childlike spark in our eyes begins to fade as adolescence approaches. Through themes of coming of age, Vanderzon reflects on the anxiety and uncertainty of stepping into adulthood.
The track marks the second offering to come from Vanderzon in collaboration with Ryan Hadlock, the Grammy-nominated producer behind some of the most iconic albums and songs from The Lumineers, Brandi Carlile and Zach Bryan. The duo came together to work on new music at the iconic Bear Creek Studio in Seattle, which has seen the likes of heavyweights including Soundgarden, Eric Clapton, The Tragically Hip, and more. The pair immediately hit it off and went on to create new music that breathes new life into Vanderzon's unapologetically raw sound.
"Initially, I was focused on writing a happy song about family. I had just come back from a cottage weekend with my brothers, our partners and our cousins - who I consider my extended siblings. I was thinking back to when we were younger and that’s where the song took a turn (for the best maybe?). I remembered specific moments of when that childlike spark in our eyes began to fade…when I started to second guess myself and let anxiety take up space in my mind.
Playing this song live feels like I’m letting my inner child take over and rock out.
Oh my Child is an anthem for the kid you use to be and the kid you still are at heart." - added Sarah
