“January” details the journey to catharsis and relief, touching on finding acceptance of where you have come from, as well as the optimism about where you’re going and persistence to carry on.
Emphasizing the importance of living in the present, lead singer Myles Rodenhouse shares, “This song is about maturing and understanding mistakes you’ve made. Pursuing whoever you want to be now instead of what your former self wanted. It’s not about it working out, it’s about being where you want to be.
The lyrics, which were written by friend and poet Andy Axel, play with the metaphor of birds traveling south for the winter, however in this particular story, a bird flies south in January and survives through the harsh, winter weather, through sheer determination and willingness to move forward. Sonically, “January” emits a joyous and hopeful feeling, with spacious, airy harmonies that encompass the listener.
